Queensland Rail cuts Weekend and after Hours Station Staffing across South East

Queensland Rail Cuts Weekend and After-Hours Station Staffing Across South-EastQueensland Rail is reducing staffing at roughly one third of south-east Queensland's 153 stations from Tuesday, with many no longer staffed on weekends and 19 stations closing to staff at 1pm instead of 7pm. The Rail, Tram and Bus Union labelled the changes extreme, warning reduced staffing will compromise safety and disadvantage passengers with disabilities, elderly commuters and tourists.

I just shipped my first iOS app as a software student @ UTS — OzNews, a swipe-based Australian news app

I first launched a web version of it and that seemed to have done decently which got about 500 users so I was inclined to give making the application a shot .

Bit of context: I'm doing my Master of Data Science at UTS, working part-time and building on the side. OzNews has been my main project for the past month.

The idea was simple — I was frustrated that staying across Australian news meant jumping between 5 different apps and paywalls. I wanted something fast, local, and actually readable. So I built a swipe-based news aggregator that summarises Australian stories in plain English.

Just got App Store approval today. Would genuinely love feedback from other Australians — especially on what news categories matter most to you and whether the swipe format feels natural.

Please note that this is the MVP and there are improvements to be made ,with that said would love some genuine feedback .The app is called "Oznews"

Australian news is broken for younger readers — so I built something about it (just got App Store approved today)

Every major Australian news app is either paywalled, cluttered with ads, or just an RSS feed dressed up nicely. None of them feel like they were built for someone who wants to catch up on what's happening in 5 minutes on the train.

So I spent the last few months building OzNews — a swipe-based news aggregator specifically for Australian content. Think Tinder for news, but actually useful. Each story is summarised in plain English, you swipe through, and if something catches your interest you tap through to the full article. Here is the App link .

Keen to get feedback from other builders
