The rules we run by

  • Pages never fetch from anyone on the fly. Each source is read on its own timer and kept, so the site stays quick and calm.
  • Nothing stale is shown as current. If a source misses two checks in a row, every page that uses it says it’s down and since when.
  • Headlines link to the original story. We never copy articles.
  • It all runs on Cloudflare for a few pounds a month. No ads, no trackers unless you say yes.
