You need commentary
I honestly just built this project as a tool to aggregate market news for myself and build something simple with Elixir + Phoenix.
I don't have any plans to add commentary – but I do intend to keep it running and building things that are helpful to myself and the community!
Wow this site is fast. Well done. FWIW you can use AdSense/ad tags within LiveView, if you're using that. There's an attribute you need to set - Google it - I can't recall atm, but I got it working just fine on one of my sites to refresh ads and also take advantage of LiveViews speed for user engagement.
I appreciate that info on LiveView, I plan on digging into it!
The public-facing pages of this site aren't currently using LiveView, but I see it on the horizon.
For speed considerations, I'm actually caching news stories in memory using the excellent Cachex (https://github.com/whitfin/cachex) library.
Isn't this just an rss feed agregator?
I really just built it to get acquainted with Elixir + Phoenix, and wanted to share it with the community :)

I don't think Google will let you run ads on a news aggregator site w/o unique content. [1] [1] https://support.google.com/adsense/answer/1348737
I'm just glad to share this site with the community and hope people get some value from it!
FWIW I don't think that you can really do this without moderation. Financial news is one area where curation shines particularly strongly, considering how strong monetary and information gain collide. Benzinga / Motley Fool / Seeking Alpha / Business Wire / Forbes aren't places to find worthwhile information.

I'd go the other way, please don't add commentary and a good way to monetize this kind of site would be to charge for access to a separate related forum/discourse instance. Optionally you could show comments if someone wants to see them on the page (or include a link to the dedicated forum thread for every post). Having commentary on a site like this is a great way to turn into WSB/StockTwits and/or have people attem…
> Having commentary on a site like this is a great way to turn into WSB/StockTwits I don't know; I'd be pretty pleased to be running (and monetizing!) a site at the scale & impact of WSB.
I wonder if it's harder to stand-out as an WSB/StockTwits alternative or as a product for investors looking for a "better" news source.
