What is this?

BBC News provides a variety of RSS feeds for subscribing to news content. But they're not great, so I've been working on improving them:

1. In 2019, sick of seeing sports news (that I didn't care about), I started filtering out sports.
2. In 2024, the feed started being polluted by non-news content (links to iPlayer and BBC Sounds content, and plugs for the app). So I came up with a filter for them too.
3. In 2025, a commenter asked if I could make an alternate version of the feed that didn't exclude the sports news, so I arranged for that too.
4. Finally, when somebody asked on Mastodon whether I could start filtering not only the UK edition but also the World edition of BBC News... I realised it was time to turn this into a proper project.
