Work in progress news and events aggregator, NewsMapp
Hey everyone 👋 built a news + events discovery app and would love some feedback
So I've been working on this side project called NewsMapp. It's basically a map-based app where you can explore news and events happening around the world, visually, by location.
The idea is simple: instead of scrolling through a feed, you interact with a map and discover what's going on in different parts of the world. News stories, events, that kind of thing. It pulls from a bunch of sources and tries to surface things that are actually relevant to wherever you're looking on the map.
It's still very much a work in progress. There are rough edges, some features I'm still building out, and the data coverage isn't perfect everywhere yet. But the core concept is working and I wanted to get it in front of real people before I go too deep in one direction.
Would genuinely appreciate any feedback, whether it's:
- The concept itself (does this even make sense to you as a user?)
- UX/navigation stuff
- Features you'd want to see
- Anything that feels broken or confusing
No pressure to be nice about it, honest takes are way more useful at this stage 😅
Happy to answer questions about the stack or how I built it too if anyone's curious. Thanks for checking it out!
