Got frustrated at Google News for being cluttered and messy on my device, so I decided to build my own alternative over a few weeks.
I called it Newswire. It web-scrapes RSS headlines across 7 different categories, it has 4 themes, source-filtering, a real-time search, and auto-refreshes after 5 minutes.
The part I'm most proud of is that it runs entirely off my Android phone via Termux as a local server for my home WI-FI. My phone just sits on my desk on charge while I do other stuff on my main PC.
Python + Flask, vanilla JS, no frameworks, no build step.
