News aggregator website

by danniel_hj

Hi all,

In the last couple of weeks I've hacked together a small website that lets you check the latest trending world news or all the news related to a topic you are interested in. There are additional filters that allows you to have even more specific searches like date range, languages, etc.

It critical that we stay informed in what’s going on in the world during these crazy times where information is of most importance.

Here is the link to the website: https://www.thenewsload.com/

Any feedback is much appreciated (bugs, feature requests and anything you can think of).

    Hi Danniel,

    Do you have a screenshot of what the site looked like? I'm thinking of doing something similar.

    Thanks,
    John

    hi, is it possible to get some advices ? I want to create an agregator in the haircut sector. Some students post on facebook groups and craiglist ad about looking for model in exchange of a free haircut. Do you know how I could set up it in no code ?

    • Header is too big, could be double smaller (~60px height) and still fully functional.
    • Short description (or sub-headline, or meta description) below the headline would be nice touch, since everybody pack the RSS feeds just with headlines
    • Under Load More, is it possible to pre-fetch images/thumbnails?
    • If I would make something like this, I would make that headline click opens full fetched article (FiveFilters org as example) with attribution below, original source or "article first published at ____" so people stays on the site.
    • Private feeds, like user make account, and set the only feeds that he wants to see, add links, sites etc. It would be premium service of course so you have something for your work.
      All in all, nice looking everything else.

      Nice, thanks for the feedback. Yes I was thinking of making it more personal like adding the option for a user to save their filters and subscribe for a daily / weekly newsletter with their custom search.

      Hay, yes it is open source, here is the link to the Github repo - https://github.com/DanailH/news-aggregator . It uses Next.js (I wanted to check it out since I never used it before).
