Synopsis
This project was completed as a part of my coursework for the course CSCI 571: Web Technologies at the University of Southern California, Spring 2020 under Prof. Marco Papa.
Why?
Problem: How in the world do you keep track of all hot:fire: news happening around? Way too many! It's like a Russian novel! Help! :astonished:
Solution: We stream the news you need and can add them to read-it-later list to read according to your convenience. We'll source, sort, summarize and quantify different news categories
- For people with goldfish memory, who can only keep 7±2 people in their heads at all times! 😬
- For people who're just too lazy for lookups! Sometimes you just want happenings at a glance! ⭐

- Install Android Studio on your machine.
- Create an Android Virtual Device (AVD) in your Android Studio.
