Shameless plug -- but I built this web app, aggregates a bunch of different sources: https://journali.sm https://journali.sm

Why does it seem like there's only cnn, nyt and abc in the feed? Can we get articles from all sides of the spectrum? I'd like to see RT, fox, aljazeera and some edgy stuff I don't even know about

  There are categories on the sidebar that you can switch between, and you can also create a (free) account and choose which sources/categories you want in a custom feed.

  Using third-party aggregators like this only adds a middle man to a process which can be easily done by yourself using something like Nextcloud News on a personal server - a SBC like a Raspberry Pi or something similar is enough for this task (and others). You get to choose exactly which sources you want to add, from The Daily Beast to The Daily Wire, from Breitbart to HuffPo, take your pick and add them. You might have to do some work to find a feed link or rig up a scraper for those sites which don't offer one but this is worth the effort. One of the big advantages of running your own aggregator is that you get to see part of the editorial process - article titles are being changed, often from 'honest' to 'biased' or 'bland', articles are first put up but dropped a few minutes later, etc. You get to see how different outlets report on the same issue without any potential filtering by a middle man.

Your site suggests it's based in San Marino, but it doesn't seem to cover any Italian news, nor does it seem to cover global news Your motto is "Just what's happening in the world." Scrolling down your (never ending) front page shows a single item of global significance - The highest number of coronavirus cases were reported to WHO in a single day yesterday

    If you are building a site aimed at global residents (I assume you aren't aiming it as San Marino residents), then that should be the first page. You have a "U.S. / National" link. It has no stories from my country, it's "Just U.S". "Sports" is mainly American sports, which have niche following globally. I'm afraid if I encountered this site I'd just put it down as just another America-centric aggregator making money off the backs of actual journalists If you want to target american audiences that's fine, just don't claim you're global.
