Google News alternatives

Congrats on launching your project! 🎉 Good luck with it! How will the new search changes impact discoverability for average users who may not be familiar with extensions?

It's a really solid concept, and there's a lot of potential here, but the onboarding flow is weak, forcing you to choose news outlets from a massive list that you are unable to breakdown into topics or subjects, many are political and sports and little are tech-focused. The platform also seems to be focused for the German market more than the english market right now, so there are many major publications that do not exist, and many of the topics are all filled with german news. There doesn't seem to be a way to filter this to only have english results across the board.

Really love the app. Best part is I can curate my own feed according to my news preference and the latest version has a text to speech feature which is fab. Each article is a quick read with all the info I need. Must try to save your time!

A global news dashboard is a cool idea and this is a good first step, but naturally with hundreds of countries each with dozens of news stories it is overwhelming. Some ideas for improvement; 1. Sorting options: Alphabetic by name 2. Filtering: Quick filter by country name 3. Show source of each news item 4. Read indicators 5. Scrolling of each country list within scrolling of entire page is tricky 6. Pinning/favouriting countries to the top
