I've been using Google's discovery feed for news for years. The other day, I realized that they began to put X posts in my feed. I decided to make my own news viewer.
Seriously, how did Google think this was a good idea? X (fka Twitter) is the cesspit of the internet. Because of this I made my own News Viewer.
Just the News is a lightweight headline-based news viewer. It's built with Next.js and Tailwind CSS. I designed it to run fast, and with as little bloat as possible.
It still has all the features of most news apps. Bookmarks, Categories, and a dark mode. But, without the ads and bloat of most other News feed apps. It is also open source, and you can find the source code on GitHub.
Anyways, thats all I have for this month's blog post. I'll be back next month year with another post
Happy holidays!
