Unbearable news
I always plug my news website, <a href="https://legiblenews.com/" rel="nofollow">https://legiblenews.com/</a>, when I read about the state of news on the web because I too feel this frustration. It got so bad I decided to create a news website that:<p>1. Loads in one request. Seriously, load it in your browser with the network inspector open. One request.<p>2. Is private. I don’t care who reads it. I provide this as a public service and have no interest in running targeted ads.<p>3. Links to source content. This is the worst thing about news websites today: the articles summarize complex issues and rarely link to source documents because they want to keep you on their website and pump you full of more ads. I joke that “you might accidentally learn something if you click one of the links” because it loads Wikipedia articles.<p>I get why people read paper news. It’s private, no pop-ups, and is fast. Legible News is as close as I could get to that. I hope you enjoy!
