I made https://masskomm.com . It's a simple news aggregator for some of the main publishers I follow especially from around Asia.
Nice work, I like the design too.
Thanks :)

#62I built https://aktu.io, it's a rss reader with machine learning and news aggregation.
Main features are: - items in your rss feeds are automatically categorized, names of people, places, etc... extracted. That means it's way easier to browse/filter your feeds when you have thousands of articles waiting to be read...
- items in your rss feeds are grouped together if about the same story. It really helps to reduce the noise in your feeds as you don't have duplicates any more, and at the same time it's convenient to have different sources/point of views for articles in your feeds.

#63Newsmap is my go-to: https://newsmap-js.herokuapp.com/ It's a real-time graphical representation of the most popular news stories in a variety of topics in global or (configurable) regions. Very useful. Shoutout to the original newsmap.jp which unfortunately requires Flash.
no Spain in the dropdown? :O :((

#65The Memeorandum family of products have been the foundation of my media diet for more than a decade now: Memeorandum (general news): https://www.memeorandum.com/ Techmeme (tech news): https://www.techmeme.com/ Mediagazer (media sector news): https://www.mediagazer.com/ I’m constantly amazed at how many people have never heard of them. To me, they are indispensable.
i prefer the river view for each, similar to hckrnews.com https://www.techmeme.com/river https://www.mediagazer.com/river they also run one just about baseball - https://www.ballbug.com/ the world would be a better place if someone wrote a platform to make your own platforms of these. i imagine a community, like a subreddit, would have a set of rss feeds etc that it follows, a group of people "swipe left or right" on…
I second aldaily. An amazing website that I've loved for many years.

Bookmarked this. Found that it displayed several stories I had not seen, at a glance. Will try adding it to my phone scroll-hole rotation.
what is scroll-hole rotation?

#67I also made a newsmap.jp clone: https://news.brade.zone/
Used to be a bit better when google news told you how many articles existed per story (leading to more meaningful size differences), but it still gets the job done I guess.
