Why It Works
A stronger static-site publication model
01
Built for speed
GitHub Pages keeps the shell fast while the feed layer adds motion and freshness.
02
Source-first links
Readers can jump straight to the original reporting instead of getting trapped in a rewrite mill.
03
Ready to grow
The layout leaves room for roundups, opinions, interviews, search, and newsletters later.

Make it easy for people to find you
Your social links should feel like part of the publication, not an afterthought in the footer.
About
What this should become
ShadowFetch News should feel like a modern front page for people who care about Linux, open tools, software freedom, privacy, and the culture around them. The current version already supports live headline aggregation, but the long-term win is adding your voice: curated picks, short context blurbs, and a publishing rhythm readers recognize.
