You may want to nod to RSS on your website, explaining what your API provides over it.

Hmmm. That sounds super smart. We never though about it. Thx a lot!

Hi everyone,

We're Artem and Maksym: co-founders of NewsCatcher.

We launched 6 months ago, and we're an early traction bootstrapped startup. We didn't plan to make Show HN today but given that "new is a new popular" at least for now, we thought it's a good opportunity to show what we've done.

2. How we built a news api beta in 60 days [2]

It'd be more interesting if it was a pay-per-use pricing model, e.g.: $0 the first n calls (to try the service, even if it's for commercial purposes) and then $0.0016 per call of whatever you want to charge
