Large news publications post their .rss files, which are XML files that contain the latest news articles from the publication. The Nuanced News app fetches these .rss files from various sources, parses the XML to extract article information, and categorizes the articles based on their source.
Nuanced News is an open-source web application that aggregates news stories from a wide range of sources across the political spectrum. Instead of categorizing articles directly, it presents stories from publications with known political leanings, allowing readers to compare coverage and develop a more informed and balanced understanding of current events. The goal is to encourage thoughtful reading by highlighting how narratives differ across media outlets.
The project features a React frontend, a Flask backend, and Firebase authentication. It fetches and parses RSS feeds in real time, delivering up-to-date headlines and summaries with a clean, responsive interface. Nuanced News is actively maintained and open to contributors.
