Show HN News v2: Ad Free Newsfeed - All News, No Ads

Hacker News

Hello, I built a simple ad free news website after growing frustrated trying to get my news from news websites filled with ads or social media platforms filled with distractions. I was looking for a news website that gave me literally just the news in a simple - distraction free platform. But could not find a solution that satisfied what I was looking for - so I started building one. Over last couple of months I developed newsv2.com - a website that is just news with no ads, no images, just headlines and basic descriptions. The headline based news feed is free and you can use it today and I would appreciate your feedback 60-70% of people just read headlines when getting their news so just presenting those alone should keep people informed but would like to hear your thoughts. I find myself using newsv2.com/live everyday for my news - and am very happy with it and I finally have a way to get my news without having to go on social media or news websites. You can also test out the audio visualizer i built into the app for free at newsv2.com/audio - you can visualize audio from youtube videos with it by sharing your browser tab with the visualizer or audio from your mic - just a fun feature. Also just so you know there are also optional AI features as well, while not the focus of this post, if you are interested (you can use for Free for First month with code PH100 at checkout with 100-200 Credits per month Subscription - cancel anytime)(Note: requires sign up and is not focus on post but just wanted to clarify) Not looking to sell subscriptions more so looking for feedback and want to give users a way to test those features if they're interested for Free. I'm also never going to put ads on this site - site is focused on users first and would greatly appreciate feedback to improve it. Please send feedback or any questions to news@newsv2.com, thanks!
