Where good old rivers (of news) have been discovered (again).
This project intends to provide a free (as in freedom) alternative to
web news readers and bookmarking apps.
As such Water On Mars intends to be a news reading platform built around the following analogies:
You contemplate the river of news flowing down from your selection of sources.
You can then use a sieve to filter out and collect the most interesting links.
A demo website is up and running thanks to Heroku at: http://wateronmars-demo.herokuapp.com.
Feature list:
For the curious developers the aim is also to provide the base
mechanics for news and bookmarks manipulations. For instance, there is
now a "good enough" database scheme, a RESTful API and a "not too
ridiculous" UX.
Everything is set up to start experimenting new features around the
admitedly old-fashioned theme of news feeds and bookmarks !
