True, adding personnalisation of the news depending on the profile of the user is in my list of things to do :)

True, thanks for the feedback :)

True, there are many things to do to improve the quality of services/products using the devices geo-location, not only in the gaming business.

Thanks for the feedback, it's much appreciated :)

haha, true, indeed
Re:Show HN: News geolocation website on Monday July 23, 2018 @12:06PM (#17593659)
Indeed it's one of the most difficult challenges I am facing, the solution would be to give the power to the users so that they can discard such parsing. But first I have to ensure that there are people who might be interested in using the solution, it's the phase I am in right now (trying to validate the concept), thanks for the feedback :)

Thank you for the feedback, much appreciated :) :)

True, thanks :)
Re:Show HN: News geolocation website on Monday July 23, 2018 @11:24AM (#17593355)
It is definitely something I will explore if I continue the project, combining time and location. I agree it is difficult to find locations for text but nowadays the NLP algorithms are more powerful than ever before so it is feasible :)

Thanks for the feedback, those are all good suggestions, much appreciated :)

Thanks for the feedback, much appreciated :)
Re:Show HN: News geolocation website on Monday July 23, 2018 @10:46AM (#17593106)
That was the original idea, it seemed too complicated to do at the beginning but now after working some months on the idea, I think it's feasible, I will add this feature in my future surveys to see who might be interested, thanks for the feedback, much appreciated :)
Re:Show HN: News geolocation website on Monday July 23, 2018 @10:41AM (#17593071)
Thanks a lot for all the feedbacks, I agree with you, the more I work on the project the more I realize how difficult it is to make everything fully automated without impacting the quality of the geolocation (NLP is not 100% reliable) and the quality of the sources, I am still working on that.
Re:Show HN: News geolocation website on Monday July 23, 2018 @10:35AM (#17593034)
Thanks for the feedback, it can be very useful in case of an emergency indeed.
Re:Show HN: News geolocation website on Monday July 23, 2018 @10:32AM (#17593020)
very similar indeed
Re:Show HN: News geolocation website on Monday July 23, 2018 @10:28AM (#17592995)
I see your point, it's something listed in my list of bugs to fix, for now i am still in an idea validation phase where I want to validate the concept before committing more time to it, but I agree, this should definitely be fixed first :)
Re:Show HN: News geolocation website on Monday July 23, 2018 @10:21AM (#17592945)
I didn't know about the GDELT project this could be very useful for my project, much appreciated :)

Thanks for the feedback, I will add the cities/ general areas, it's necessary indeed. And sorry for the inconvenience, there was a problem with the database, everything is back to normal now.

Show HN: News geolocation website

The idea: The idea is to create a news aggregator that geolocates the news, it analyses the news and displays an article on a street/city/region (location in general) if it is mentioned in that article. The website will later give you notifications about what is mentioned in the news nearby. The current situation of the project:For now I have a minimum viable product, I have the website up and...
