summary a few times a day.
That way you're not missing out,
skip all the ranting, and save time for the things that really matter in your life.
Slownews is more than a website, it can be installed like a real App!
At some point a message from your phone should prompt you to "install" the App,
click on it and see the magic happen!
Slownews will show on your home screen with its own icon.
Slownews delegate its notification system to an external service called Programabot.
With this system, you gain in flexibility as you can choose to receive notifications from Slownews in your favorite messaging platform.
Slownews is a paying service.
Long story short: I'm an indie developer, working alone on this project. So, at some point, I need money to live and pay for the server.
Slownews DOES respect your privacy,
Slownews DOES NOT collect your private data,
Slownews DOES NOT sell any data,
Slownews DOES NOT show ads.
The price is modest: $US 3/month,
if enough people pay it could be sustainable without being too pricey.
You don't need to put any credit card information to get started.
You have a 14 days trial period, starting when you first register. When the 14 days trial period is over, your account will stop refreshing until you pay.
It will happen at some point, don't worry I'm here to help! Contact me at [email protected] and try to get a screenshot.
This is important, that's why it has its own section in help
Right after your registration on Slownews — so called first start — you will not get your own content.
Indeed Slownews can not get your content from the last few hours because you've just register.
To prevent a blank and deceptive state, Slownews will show you some example content. Use this time to explore the app and do not forget to activate the notifications!
Slownews idea came when I decided to stop going on Twitter.
I quickly realized that Twitter was the place where I got all my news. But still I was unhappy with the speed and the quality of my timeline.
So I made Slownews, it watches my twitter home feed and gives me a summary few times a day. All my problems were solved!
My name is Jerome Gangneux, I'm a French independent (not working for any corporation) developer, I try to make products that solve my own problem, and then make it available for everyone to use.
I value privacy very much, as a matter of fact I do not use any Google product for Slownews.
I believe in small niche products that do one thing and do it well.
You can talk to me at [email protected], I'm always happy to answer!
