A Customizable “DrudgeReport” for Linux
- mdszy 7y agoWhy would you deliberately compare your site to drudge report?
- nothal 7y agoKnock the politics all you want but Drudge Report is an effective website in that it clearly conveys info to it's Target population. Website looks really cool @OP!
- runawaybottle 7y agoAnd for what it’s worth, I always hit Drudge and CNN throughout the day to get a sense of how things are being spun from both sides.
- keithcu2 7y agoThanks! It is a small project in Flask, including caching and customization. I don't have a dark mode yet, but maybe someone who cares will fork it on GitHub or GitLab ;-)
- keithcu2 7y agoIt has good ideas I tried to borrow from: fast, simple 3 column layout, no ads everywhere, constantly refreshing, etc. I don't read it anymore, but I used to check it regularly to find out what was going on in the world. It is one of the most popular websites in America with 1B hits / month.
- williamstein 7y agoThis is really cool. Why is it called "Linux report" instead of something else like "Nerd Report" or "Tech Report" or "Keith Report"? How do you filter for Linux relevance? E.g., the top article under Slashdot is "Apple Has a Putin Problem", which doesn't obviously seem to have anything to do with Linux. Thanks!
- keithcu2 7y agoGlad you like it! It is Linux focused. Unlike Drudge, I'm not choosing the articles. The Slashdot feed is the main feed. The Linux-only feed has only about one article per day so it would be too boring. However, it is customizable, so add your own RSS feeds if you think it is missing something. Or send me a URL and I'll think about adding it to the default page.
