Description

Local News

A cross-platform mobile app (iOS, Android, web) that pulls headlines from public RSS/Atom feeds and lets you filter them by country, by worldwide coverage, and by individual source. No API keys, no backend: the app talks to publishers' feeds directly and keeps everything on the device.

Built with Expo (SDK 57) + React Native + TypeScript.

Features

• Selectable country — 13 countries ship with sources. Türkiye is the default on a fresh install, not a hard-coded special case: tap the country tab to open a searchable picker and switch to any other. The choice persists.
• Scope filter — the selected country, Worldwide (international outlets), or All (the country plus worldwide). All deliberately does not pull all 13 countries at once, which would make the timeline unreadable.
• Source filter — every source has a toggle. Flip them from the chip row on the feed, or from the Sources sheet with Select all / Clear shortcuts.
• Add your own feed — paste any RSS/Atom URL, name it, and tag it to the current country or to Worldwide. Custom feeds sit alongside the built-in ones and can be deleted.
• Unified timeline — all selected feeds are fetched in parallel, merged, deduplicated by link, and sorted newest first.
• Search across headline, summary and source name, with Turkish casing handled properly: ANKARA matches Ankara, and ISTANBUL, İSTANBUL, istanbul and ıstanbul all match İstanbul (Turkish lowercases ASCII I to dotless ı, so the dotted and dotless forms are folded together).
• Save for later — bookmark articles into a Saved tab, stored on device.
• Resilient fetching — a feed that is slow (12s timeout), offline, or returning garbage never blocks the others; the UI reports which sources failed and the rest still render.
• Light and dark theme, following the system setting.
• Articles open in an in-app browser, falling back to the system browser.

Getting started

npm install
npm start          # then press i / a, or scan the QR code with Expo Go

Other scripts:

npm run android      # open on an Android device/emulator
npm run ios          # open on an iOS simulator (macOS only)
npm run web          # run in a browser
npm run typecheck    # tsc --noEmit
npm test             # unit tests for the feed parser and merge/search logic
npm run check-feeds  # live health check of every built-in feed URL

npm run check-feeds

Publishers retire and move RSS endpoints regularly. This script fetches every built-in source and prints what came back:

TR trt-haber          OK     40 articles (40 dated, 38 with images) — …
WW reuters-agency     FAIL   HTTP 404

The prefix is the source's scope — an ISO country code, or WW for worldwide.

Run it on a machine with unrestricted network access, then prune or replace anything reported as FAIL or EMPTY in src/data/sources.ts.

Note: none of the built-in feed URLs were verified against the live internet during development — the build sandbox blocked all outbound traffic to news domains. The parser and the filtering logic are covered by unit tests against RSS 2.0, Atom and RDF fixtures, but the URLs themselves are best-effort. Run npm run check-feeds before relying on the bundled source list, particularly for the non-Türkiye countries, which were added without any live check.

Built-in sources

Adding a country or source

Each entry in src/data/sources.ts carries an id, scope, category and feedUrl, where scope is either an ISO country code or 'world'. Adding a source is a one-line edit — but keep existing ids stable, since they are what user filter preferences are stored against.

To add a country, extend the CountryCode union in src/types.ts and the COUNTRIES array in src/data/countries.ts, then give it at least one source. A test asserts that every shipped country has one, so a half-added country fails the suite rather than showing an empty feed.

How fetching works

useNewsApp derives the active source set from the scope (selected country / worldwide / both) plus the per-source toggles, then refetches whenever that set changes (keyed on sorted source ids, so re-renders don't cause redundant network calls). Each feed gets its own AbortController with a 12-second timeout; Promise.all over fetchAllFeeds never rejects, so one dead publisher degrades to a warning line instead of an empty screen.

Articles are deduplicated on the link with its query string and fragment stripped, which collapses the same story arriving from two feeds.

Prompt 4

[X screenshot] can be news selectable among most prefered news like in Twitter as i attached

Prompt 5

save button is below the screen

Prompt 6

can you add auto search and find the news' sources for both local and worldwide to add sources section (typed three times — you interrupted and retyped twice, once to fix "ABD" → "and", once to add "to add sources section")

Prompt 7

Make Turkey as optional and default, country should be selectable

Prompt 8

Can you make language option (for ex. Türkçe) option make news that language (Türkçe) in preview mode

Prompt 18

[Gündem screenshot] There is a translation bug

Prompt 19

[screenshot] Images don't seem in the left box of the sources

Prompt 20

[screenshot] Now seems like that

Prompt 21

[Haberler screenshot, search box circled] Can you add search a topic option among the news which is not listed but from api. That search option is already in the screen but needed to add this capability
