Welcome to the river

2026-10-06 by A River of News | Tags: notes, product

Most news sites decide what you should read next. This one does not.

A River of News shows headlines in the order they arrive. There is no ranking, no clustering and no editor deciding what matters. If a publisher posted it a minute ago, it is near the top. If it was posted yesterday afternoon, it is further down, under yesterday's date.

Why bother

A ranked front page is good at telling you what is important. It is bad at telling you what is new. Sometimes you want the second thing: a quick pass down the latest items to see whether anything caught fire while you were away.

What you get

• A list, newest first, with the time and the publisher on every row.
• Category filters that are plain links.
• A permanent page for every day, with a few counts.
• RSS and JSON Feed for every category.
