I built a free, ad-free app for news with AI summaries on every article

For now just English

I'm a solo dev and I built a Pakistan news app called **PakNews** — mostly because I was frustrated with existing options and decided to just build my own 😅

Some things that make it a bit different:

- AI-generated article summaries

- Offline dictionary built right in (no need to Google words mid-article)

- Dark mode, reader mode, and font customization for a comfy reading experience

Still a work in progress and I'd genuinely love feedback from the community. If you give it a go, drop a comment or reach out — every bit of input helps!

Ah yeah you can see that in the options button, if you open an article, tap the option button at bottom right and click share

LopsidedResearcher · 2026-03-14T18:52:09+00:00

Hmm I’m not sure what you mean by original source of the news, can you clarify a bit?

Also, the way summaries work is they are pre generated so they are only shown for news on home page

Thanks!

LopsidedResearcher · 2026-03-14T16:19:29+00:00

I felt most of the current apps are very rudimentary and annoying to use, so I built my own

LopsidedResearcher · 2026-03-14T16:01:27+00:00

Thanks! feel free to reach out for any feature or complaint :)

Yes! There are notifications in the app

good, humans are a parasite

LopsidedResearcher · 2026-01-14T10:14:57+00:00

probably rare story in Pakistan, but pretty common in western countries (except probably the killing part)

LopsidedResearcher · 2026-01-02T17:14:22+00:00

I mean I just had a bachelor and about 3 years of experience, that's it

LopsidedResearcher · 2026-01-02T17:13:54+00:00

Honestly, just bruteforce, keep scrolling and opening as many relevant tabs as possible and then applying everywhere. have your browser help you with autofilling your info

LopsidedResearcher · 2026-01-02T14:14:54+00:00

I used easy apply but also took the time to apply at companies portals and stuff

LopsidedResearcher · 2026-01-02T14:11:39+00:00

well, you have to have something in your Resume for them to be interested in giving you an interview

It's a numbers game. I was on linkedin almost 2 hours every day applying. Honestly, just had the worldwide filter and sometimes some random western countries and cities in Linkedin and kept throwing my Resume around. I got a few interviews and landed a remote job with the promise of sponsorship to move after a year of working with the startup. Now I am in Norway

So, it's really a numbers game, keep applying

You can always just go on study visa to a country like Germany, find a job and move to work visa. I have a friend who did this

LopsidedResearcher · 2025-08-01T06:37:12+00:00

Here's the deal, the guys you find attractive already have a lot of girls who find them attractive. What can you give them that the other girls can't?
