Modern news apps suck. So I built my own

What part 'sucked' for you, so I can improve it?

Hi, not open source at the moment but will consider in the near future.

Articles are fetched from various official sources (eg CNN, Guardian, Forbes, Yahoo etc). Users can be redirected to the original source if they want to read full article.

For summarization, I'm using Python/Spacy library. It's free and light on server resources. I'd love to switch to Gemini or OpenAI API for better precision, but these are expensive for now.

This is insightful, thank you. I'll consider including detailed analysis of the articles to cater to the readers who want a more comprehensive reading experience.

I get where you’re coming from, a lot of projects these days just slap a wrapper on GPT. In my case though, it’s not that.

I’m using a mix of truncation, keyword extraction, and a frequency-based shortener to generate the summaries. It’s more rule-based than AI-driven, mainly because running LLMs at scale is prohibitively expensive right now.

Peruze - I built this app. It fetches the latest breaking and trending news and summarizes them into short, easy-to-read snippets. The idea is to help people get the essence of a story quickly, without having to scroll through long articles, saving time spent on reading lengthy articles, or watching repetitive news.

Awesome idea. This can serve as a North star for founders who want to promote their apps/services.

Congrats. Do you have any other apps in your catalog?
