Update: Updated the design to make it a bit cleaner looking and changed the layout, if you saw the previous layout tell me what you think.
Haven't bothered to really brand it or do any SEO work but will probably work on that this weekend along with adding more sources and being a bit more selective with the content that is fed to reduce low-quality content from certain sources.
Woah sticky :O Cool!
It still needs some work as some RSS feeds don't provide images, so I need to figure out how to make it generate relevant images for sources that don't include them.
Sometimes you will see the entire article and sometimes it will give a preview and direct link to the original article URL. This is just dependent on how the source configures their RSS.
Feel free to provide any RSS feeds or news sources and I can add them. Also, right now I have it set to update in real time, or I can dripfeed the new articles.
Testing both out until I can figure out how to configure the setting for each source instead of having it apply globally. Some sites like Infowars push out too many articles, so I'm trying to find a way to dripfeed sources like that.
You can sign up for the newsletter if you like, but it will just send you 15 recent articles. I'm working on changing that and having it send specific articles of importance.
Also for privacy pedes:
It uses Google Analytics for the moment (like 99% of websites), but I don't collect any identifiable information myself and it doesn't show me anything about a user other than the type of device, country, browser version etc. But nothing identifiable. I'm just using it temporarily to learn what content people find most interesting, then I'm going to take it off once I find a analytic software that isn't ran by Satan that doesn't charge too much and does what I need it to do.
You can use an extension like Privacy Badger or Brave Browser to block the analytics.
And before you attack me for it basically every website uses it so Google has your info anyways even if you don't use their services. A lot of websites use super nasty trackers like Hotjar and Fullstory which literally record your mouse movements and session.
Thanks for the suggestions, I'm new to development so used this idea as a chance to learn more. I agree it could look much better. I'll play around with the design. Thanks for the link as well.
