Watch on YouTubeProject Overview
News apps live or die on time-to-first-headline and how well the feed reads on a small screen. This build focuses on both: a fast, cached feed that renders instantly on open, personalisation from followed categories and reading behaviour, and a swipeable short-video format for people who scan rather than read. On the publishing side, an editorial CMS handles drafting, scheduling, breaking-news pushes, and category placement, so the newsroom controls the front page without a deploy.
What the Product Does
Personalised feed
Ranked feed driven by followed categories, sources, and reading history, with a clean chronological fallback for people who want the raw wire.
Categories, sources, and search
Section browsing, source following, keyword search, and topic tracking so a running story stays in one thread.
Breaking-news alerts
Segmented push notifications for breaking stories and followed topics, with per-category opt-out so alerts stay welcome.
Short-form video
A vertical, swipeable video feed for headline-length stories, autoplaying as the reader scrolls.
Offline reading and bookmarks
Articles cached for offline reading on a commute, plus bookmarks and a read-later list synced across devices.
Editorial CMS
Draft, review, schedule, and publish, with media handling, category placement, and front-page curation controlled by the newsroom.
Who Uses It, and How
Reader
- Open to a feed that is already loaded and relevant.
- Follow categories and sources, and mute the rest.
- Save stories for offline reading and swipe through short video.
Editor
- Draft, schedule, and publish from the CMS.
- Push a breaking alert to the right audience segment.
- Curate the front page and category placement live.
Why It Matters
Cached-first rendering makes the app feel instant, which drives session frequency.
Segmented alerts lift return visits without training readers to mute notifications.
Short-form video captures the audience that will not read a full article.
The newsroom controls placement and timing without engineering involvement.
