#22I love it. What I'm about to say will not likely win me any popularity contests here, but I would love to see this constantly copying all articles from the most trafficked 10k news outlets. Then we can read and comment on what comes out of the media without putting up with garbage like taboola. Run it as a hidden service. Or just post your code and let someone else do it. There is no way you will be able to run this as a business, for reasons other commenters have discussed.

#24Firstly, copying the articles and displaying them is very likely to be illegal, although some websites do release their content under Creative Commons or similar licenses.
And secondly, there's two design things that bug me: 1. The title links on the front page are tiny (Chrome 39, Windows 7, 12 inch laptop screen), and are very hard to read. 2. Why is the design of the article pages so different to that of the front page? The brown background and serif font makes it look very 1998. Keep the design consistent if possible.

#26Hi, I just launched an online service called Scroll. * Scroll can turn news website into a clean HTML view. * You don't have to share a URL with fullscreen ads anymore. You can share the readable article URL by Scroll. * You can search articles. Every link is clutter-free just before you read. Your battery will thank you. * It's mobile optimized. * No Sign Up required. I would love any and all feedback. Be harsh, be…
