News aggregator which doesn't spy on you and allows adding new sources by committing into the source code.
Created by Ruslan Lesko
I've created Digestwave to create a news aggregator which will include articles from websites I follow. Unfortunately, Flipboard or Apple News do not support any news sites from Ukraine. My solutions allow adding any website by publishing PR to this repo.
Since this is my pet project, I am able to make it ad-free. And consequently, there is no need to track user data and sell it.
To summarize, Digestwave has a goal of obtaining 2 main properties:
- Ad-free, privacy-oriented news aggregator
- Flexibility for adding new sources
Having used some one-size-fits-all solutions, I decided to try implementing a native experience for each of the following platforms:
- Web (HTML, CSS, vanilla JS?) - digestwave.com
- iOS (SwiftUI) - Implemented, but not approved by the App Store. Can be built using source code from
./ios/Digestwave - Android (Jetpack Compose) - Not started (maybe in the future, maybe not)
The idea is to make font-ends as responsive and fast as possible. Technologies for mobile apps were selected by looking at the latest first-party UI frameworks.
