I’m a self-taught developer. I built this because the internet was starting to feel like it was shouting at me. Every morning I’d wake up feeling anxious and frustrated, sifting through garbage headlines just to find out what was actually happening in space and the global economy.[MY STORY]: I just doomscrolling on social media and one day I think what if in that time I get some news but, when I open news web. let suppose xyz.com then, what I get ads and unnecessary news not global news then I get an idea like what if, I make an website which is totally distraction free and where in less time any person get quality news like: about specifically regarding space, business, geopolitics, etc. not any and every thing. then, I started to make an web. I face many problems.
