News grouping

From 20 headlines to one story

When twenty outlets report the same event, most news APIs hand you twenty articles. Elbstream groups them into one story with one summary and links every original source. Your users get a feed without duplicates, and you never have to deduplicate a single headline. Grouping is optional: if you prefer every article on its own, you get a flat list instead.
