Made a news app that bypasses paywalls automatically
Paywalls suck and the news should be accessible. You might have tried methods to get around it for one article but you don't really remember how it worked. Wouldn't it be nice if your news app just handled that for you?
OpenWire is a simple news aggregator that has all the major paywall bypass methods built-in. Major news sites already have a working bypass method listed, but if it ever stops working, you just toggle another method and it'll remember the switch in the future. Archive is working pretty well today, or maybe UnWall. Doesn't work anymore? Switch to SMRY and let the app save it for next time.
I've kept this simple stupid. It's a web app so you can run it on any browser or install it onto your phone. There's no wrapper on the pages, it just goes straight to the webpage in the browser and you hit back to go back to OpenWire. It's using Google News's RSS feed but you're free to add other news RSS feeds and categories to further customize.
You can try OpenWire here https://ansonlai.github.io/OpenWire/ . It is completely free and open source.
