[Feature Request] Google News left of homepage #832

Would it be possible to add the Google News page to the left of the homepage (by swiping right). Maybe you could use the Nova Launcher Google News plugin?

I'm use custom apps: Read You which provide RSS-bands

But I think it would be pretty, if MM make built-in RSS plugin

@Drsheppard01 I disagree for the following reasons:

an integrated plugin adds to larger app and more memory usage for the launcher alone.
not everyone wants such plugin, and this means a feature that only takes up resources for those users.
"swiss knife" apps tend to work worse than focused, dedicated apps, for many reasons.
freedom for users to use whatever news apps they like
developer can dedicate time, effort, focus, to the actual launcher-related features, bugs.
