Components
Flym News Reader is a simple, modern, totally free and opensource project which keeps you inform by fetching your websites/blogs and displaying them in a mobile-optimized way. It is ad free and it easily adds news feed from Google news.
Proposal
The idea that i am going to present is about few important missing features in the app. The features are given below
- Notifications
- Top
- Locals
- Briefs
Now i will show you how the news feed window looks like with the help of an image and then i will explain the features needed.
- Notifications This feature should be added to get the notifications of the feed and about recents news added.
- Top This feature should be added to show the top news headlines from the world.
- Local This feature is needed to get news when we want to get news from a selected state only.
- Briefs This feature will help us to briefly get the news of the world and read it in short time.
Mockups / Examples
In this section I will show you how the addtion can be made and where these features can be added with the help of an example, for this i will upload a picture.
Picture showing the added features
In this way we can add the features to the news reader as slides above.
Benefits
The benefits of the above mentioned features are stated below.
- Notifications will help to keep track of the latest news and what is happening in the world.
- Top feature will help us to get the feed full of the trending news all across the world which will work as a filter for us.
*Local feature will help us to get the news about the local states or local locations even if we are not around. - Brief feature will help us to read the news briefly when we actually cant really spend too much time on the news related to a single topic.
The above features will be beneficial for the user and help us to get news from different sectors and will give us filters for the feed too.
Hope the proposal is considered and the features are added soon.
Thank-you.
