NewsX.org is a hobby project acting as a relatively simple reader for news headlines. Basic headline and source links are provided and other advanced features like related headline images or the ability to search various search engines and content site enable a much deeper research functionality.

The original version used a database and server-side processing to acquire and present headlines. Everything was retrieved and compiled and delivered on the server-side. In contrast, the latest version makes use of javascript to do everything possible client-side.

It bears repeating that everything possible is done in javascript. I want it this way. I know things could be much faster if done on the server-side, but as this is a hobby project I get to follow my interests. And my interests right now are seeing just how deep and powerful javascript in a browser can be.

I hope you find NewsX.org to your liking. If you have any comments, please don't hesitate to contact me.
