NewsMap.JS

A pure javascript replacement for the now defunct http://newsmap.jp.

Shows a visual representation of headlines from Google News. Select one or more editions and enable/disable categories to suit yourself.

Implemented in pure Javascript using react. Open source - read source, ask questions, send pull requests. Don't worry I know it's far from perfect!

Running Locally

Follow the steps below to get it running locally. In dev environment API requests will be proxied automatically.

1. Install

   git clone https://github.com/IJMacD/newsmap-js.git
   cd newsmap-js/newsmap-js
   npm install
   

2. Run development server

   npm start
   

Building for Prod

When you build for prod you'll have to set environment variable VITE_API_ROOT to an RSS news source compatible with Google News (or a proxy to it).

• Bash compatible shell

   VITE_API_ROOT=https://example.com npm run build
  

• Powershell

   $env:VITE_API_ROOT = "https://example.com"; npm run build
  

Donation

Due to the way the news data needs to be fetched, I have to run a server to proxy requests upstream to Google News.

There is a small hosting cost associated with this.

If NewsMap.JS is useful to you and you wish to help with these costs; donations are very much appreciated at this link PayPal.Me.
