A pure javascript replacement for the now defunct http://newsmap.jp.
Shows a visual representation of headlines from Google News. Select one or more editions and enable/disable categories to suit yourself.
Implemented in pure Javascript using react. Open source - read source, ask questions, send pull requests. Don't worry I know it's far from perfect!
Follow the steps below to get it running locally. In dev environment API requests will be proxied automatically.
Install
git clone https://github.com/IJMacD/newsmap-js.git cd newsmap-js/newsmap-js npm install
Run development server
npm start
When you build for prod you'll have to set environment variable VITE_API_ROOT to an RSS news source compatible with Google News (or a proxy to it).
Bash compatible shell
VITE_API_ROOT=https://example.com npm run build
Powershell
$env:VITE_API_ROOT = "https://example.com"; npm run build
Due to the way the news data needs to be fetched, I have to run a server to proxy requests upstream to Google News.
There is a small hosting cost associated with this.
