jkl.io is a customisable user-centric news aggregator in alpha release (expect some bugs and hiccups).
We are pursuing a user-supported model on Patreon to avoid "optimising for engagement".
We draw from diverse quality sources, public broadcasters, universities, think tanks, as well as the media and the web.
Our default algorithm favours serious news. We also have an optional completely local in-browser algorithm you can tune and inspect.
The interface is customisable: themes, fonts, columns, section order (drag and drop in the menu) and size. There are keyboard shortcuts and a command bar.
We don't do user tracking, analytics, user accounts, cookies, cookie popups, or server-based data storage or personalisation.
The defaults are based on and optimised for Canberra in Australia, but you can change them.
