I'll throw a vote out for the New York Times daily briefing: The sample looks like https://www.nytimes.com/2017/07/05/briefing/north-korea-cnn-... It is exactly what it sounds like—a quick daily briefing of the most important things that have happened over night—kinda as if you're the President. There is a URL that you don't need to update each day to hit, but for the life of me I can't remember it at the moment.

https://legiblenews.com/ It scrapes headlines from Wikipedia once per day at 8p PST. It's encrypted. There's no ads. It loads fast, as-in one request. Your activity isn't logged. I built this because I got tired of all the shitty tricks news websites play: obnoxious ads, "breaking news", auto-play videos, pumping megabytes of crap into your browser, lack of privacy, and lack of citations. Legible news is boring. It's…

Is the code open source ? I live in Europe, and it would be great if, with the same product, we could choose the time at which we want the news to be delivered, and the language in which we want it delivered.
