What is it?

NewsNow is a web app for reading real-time and trending news in a clean, minimal interface. It pulls hot topics from a range of news sources and shows them in one place, so readers can scan what is currently popular without visiting each site.

The app caches results for 30 minutes by default, and logged-in users can force a refresh. Scraping intervals adapt to each source's update frequency, with a minimum of 2 minutes, to limit resource use and avoid IP bans. GitHub OAuth login adds data synchronization, and an MCP server lets AI clients fetch news through the BASE_URL endpoint.

The project is built in TypeScript with pnpm and can be deployed to Cloudflare Pages, Vercel, or Docker. It stores data in a database via db0 connectors, with Cloudflare D1 recommended. New data sources are added under the shared and server sources directories.
