I have a few website ideas floating around - a news aggregator built for accessibility and (some day) internationalization. I think the toughest problem for this app is parsing all news sites' HTML correctly and would benefit from a group of people working on it. Another idea is to open source the translations so it can serve content from many different countries. Could use some feedback. https://inshapemind.com https://inshapemind.com Another site is a group of easy to use tools (whatsmyipaddress clone, document grepper, proxy site). The main differentiator is that the tools can be used via API as well as by visiting the webpage. I'm open to collaborating. Not trying to do anything bleeding edge here, just trying to build something that people will use.

Rather than parsing HTML, it might be easier to look for news organizations that publish an RSS feed and transform that into something that is more accessible and internationalized.

  I appreciate the reply. I actually do parse RSS from the main page if it exists. However, not all sites have RSS feeds and those that do lack other interesting information (author, etc). I definitely had that thought earlier on but my focus was on other things.
