Collects
RSS feeds, Google News, Reddit and Hacker News across six categories: tech, crypto, finance, sport, entertainment and politics.
One story. Every outlet.
NewsDesk pulls headlines from RSS, Google News, Reddit and Hacker News and merges the same event. You read the story once and see, beneath it, every outlet that covers it.
The same news, five times. Now once.
One event shows up in dozens of places, each with a different headline. NewsDesk recognises it is the same story and shows it as a single item with every outlet attached.
