Some interesting stuff under the hood - it is very graphical but loads extremely fast, no ads or javascript
* Cost almost nothing even if massive traffic (I wish)
* Infinate scaling
* No markdown, just html
* Post from browser, no publishing utils
* No web server
* No database
* Important plugins - comments, social media, email list
* Templates (eventually)
Built with jquery, S3, Cloudfront
Finished but not tested, demo at https://jamackinnon.com
Because I made it :)
Original motivation was to to scratch my own itch for news. I found I was spending far too much time foraging for content so decided to automate discovery and relevance filtering. The app is web based but formatted for mobile.
The story stream is increasingly global, random and tolerant of competing biases, I hope a new way to experience news and see the world.
Because I made it!
Continuous stream of socially curated news, formatted for mobile.
