Show HN: I built a worldwide news app, because Apple doesn't want to
For the past three years, I have been developing a news aggregator app called Newsreadeck. I like to read news from several sources. However, most similar apps are primarily available in English and cater to U.S. users.
I initially tried using RSS feeds, but many websites don't offer them. Manually creating or finding RSS feeds was tedious. Additionally, RSS feeds often just opened articles in a web browser or displayed only snippets, not the full content.
To address these issues, I developed my own data sources. I've compiled over 16,000 curated sources, categorized by language, location, and topic, which I monitor for reliability. The app allows you to discover and follow sources without limits and access articles seamlessly. I also built a custom reader to remove ads, banners, and distractions, although some paywalls may still appear.
Some sources can be too aggressive in publishing articles. To address this, I've added options to mute certain words to avoid related articles, mute specific sources, and create a custom news feed by grouping your favorite sources.
The app features a search engine that allows users to apply filters such as language, country, and topic in addition to keywords, helping them discover top news and new channels to explore.
Finally, the app features widgets that bring the latest news straight to your home screen.
If you're as enthusiastic about news as I am, you're welcome to try out the app, available on the App Store.
