NewsNow is an elegant news reader application that aggregates real-time trending news from multiple sources into a clean, readable interface. Rather than overwhelming users with raw feeds, it focuses on presenting the hottest and most current news in a visually polished way. The application scrapes news sources at an adaptive interval, no more frequently than every 2 minutes, and caches results for 30 minutes by default. This prevents overloading the sources or triggering IP bans. Users who log in via GitHub can force a refresh to get the latest data immediately. Login is done through GitHub's OAuth system, which synchronizes user data. It also supports MCP (Model Context Protocol), a standard for letting AI assistants access external tools. This means you can point an AI assistant at a running NewsNow instance to retrieve current headlines programmatically. Deployment is straightforward: fork the repository and import it to Cloudflare Pages or Vercel with a single build command. For the full login and caching features, you configure GitHub OAuth credentials and connect a database, Cloudflare D1 is the recommended option. Docker deployment is also supported. The project is written in TypeScript and currently focuses on Chinese-language news sources, with English content support planned. You would use NewsNow if you want a self-hosted, cleanly designed news aggregation dashboard you can customize with your own data sources and deploy on serverless platforms.
