Happy to pay for usage :)

Just checked out your site - nice! Interesting to hear about your Discover feature. What does it do exactly?

Sure! You can reach out at [email protected]

BTW, the CSS for 'p' has 'sans-serif-light' but I don't have that (or the others) on Chrome/Debian, which results in my default (which happens to be Serif).

Thank you! I will make sure that gets included in future testing.

Nice site! Big fan. Out of curiosity, are you monetizing it in any way? Expect increased traffic after this HN post? How are you making sure we don't empty your pockets?

No, and no plans to. If costs become an issue, I will ask for donations to fund. It's heavily optimized, so I think it can handle the spike!

Interesting, I just opened your site and it has nearly the exact same list of articles/headlines/sources that my Google News page has. I wonder what is different about my settings and the settings of those who feel their news feed is highly edited.

Generally for news I prefer Blendle, and no I don't mind paying per story although I think some papers are pretty extreme in what they think their journalism is worth.

Wow this works without whitelisting anything in noscript. Thank you!

Thanks, that was the goal!

I’d never heard of your site but I just checked it out. I’ve got to say it looks really nice. I’ll bookmark it and try to use it. Thanks for making it!

Thank you for the nice feedback!

Great job with the news website! Where do you get the news from and what stack are you using on the website?

The server is written in Go. The news scraper is written in python. I don't have the full list of sites offhand, but I'll try and get back to this comment!

So your Python scraper has a list of websites whose home pages it scrapes?

It mainly uses RSS feeds versus HTML scraping, but there are a couple of news sources where HTML is required.

You wrote elsewhere that your output HTML is highly optimized. I viewed the source of the page and I can see that it contains the CSS inside <style> tags and images embedded as base64 encoded text - what software do you use to generate this output?

The python scraper base64 encodes all the images, so that data is prepared for the web server. The python library being used is PIL. The CSS is hand-written in a Go template. The goal was to have all the rendering done in a single request, so I choose to embed the CSS and relax the CSP on styles.

Thank you for sharing. This is seriously cool stuff. Please write all this up in a blog post and do a Show HN. :-)

This looks great, thank you. Consider a donation button.

I certainly will in the future. Thank you for the kind feedback!
