Friends of mine have built Inkl [1]. I think it's a pretty good alternative to Google Newsstand (I assume that falls under "Google News"). [1] https://www.inkl.com
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…

Nice looking — what's the long-term plan on copyright? That is, if you get big, won't publishers get angry that you're repurposing their content? In the meantime, I'll give it a try.
Is there actually interest in a site which does what Google News does, but better (somehow?). What exactly would people want to see different to Google News? I've been mucking around with various things in this area for over 15 years now, but I'm just not sure what is useful to others? Please tell me, because I'd like to build it. Reply here or email or Twitter.
I'm curious - do you mean you've been playing around with news aggregators for 15 years or something else? I'm not the OP but there's clearly some pretty widespread dissatisfaction with the current news production and consumption landscape. I think there's a huge appetite for bias identification and noise identification and filtering. Given that the idea of a "fact" is something the two main political parties cannot…
I don't think anyone wants bias detection.. or maybe they do so that they can only read things that they agree with?

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.
Its not OSS at the moment. I've thought a lot about this use case. My vision is that a few KB of text is delivered once per day to whatever-device at a desired time. No more. No less. What language and locale would you be interested in?

Is there a link I can bookmark to go there? I don't use feeds or notifications but manual bookmarks so I can choose the time of reading.
I think https://www.nytimes.com/briefing was what I was thinking of. I kept trying different versions including the word daily, but just briefing works.
http://www.leftrightcenter.io/ I'm working on an alternative to Google News that shows the same event from multiple news outlets/perspectives so that you can draw your own conclusions. Let me know what you think!
when i thought of this idea - in my head it was a heat-map, in a rectangular grid pattern. Political affiliation was just 1 gauge u could select. u could navigate the grid by clicking left and right on a page and u would be presented with an article. down the matrix would goto other sections of the news.
News needs to be disrupted, and politics isnt going to be the thing that does it. Think of it this way, if i go out, i dont go and hang with politicans. I hang out with ppl i like. I hang out with ppl with similiar interests.
If i like sports, why cant i read an entire newspaper, with my likes represented? Why can i only read a "sports magazine" or "the sports section"? ppl who like sports, are interested with things that effect sports. it could be the weather, it could be a policy change, it could be beers being on special on saturdays when i hang out and watch it with my friends.
My idea starts by presenting the user with binary options, the choices they make will lead into other choices and finally a curated "newspaper" is presented. each article they are presented with, they can rank in a binary way, which further curates their experience.
hit me up on captainjonoo [at] gmail if any of u are keen explore these ideas.
I think the moments format is really good for dispensing information quickly and easily linking to more detailed information when needed.
