Calm Feeds: Our News Display App

Calm Feeds: Our News Display App

In a world of doomscrolling, algorithm-driven noise, and attention overload, staying informed shouldn’t come at the cost of your peace of mind. That’s the idea behind our RSS/Atom News Display App — a quiet, always-on feed that brings curated headlines to your wall, not your pocket.

Headlines Without the Headache

Unlike traditional news apps and websites filled with pop-ups, ads, and autoplay videos, this app is designed for focus and simplicity. It pulls in only what matters — your selected news feeds — and displays them cleanly on an e-paper screen.

No distractions. No swiping. Just information, gently updated throughout the day.

What It Shows

Mounted in your living space or workspace, the e-paper display updates silently with the latest news from your favorite sources. The layout presents:

  • 📰 A bold, clean headline
  • 📝 A short, digestible summary
  • 🔁 Automatic refreshing at a calm, configurable interval

Whether you follow global headlines, tech updates, or niche hobby blogs, the app turns RSS and Atom feeds into a beautiful ambient display.

Why a Passive Display?

We often consume news reactively — pulled into it by notifications or algorithms. This app encourages intentional, passive awareness. It sits there like a newspaper would: quietly present, informative, and never vying for your attention.

Use Cases

  • 📌 In your kitchen or hallway, as a modern newsboard
  • 🧘 In your home office, as a mindful way to stay informed
  • 📺 In a waiting area or studio, providing relevant updates to guests

The goal isn’t to consume more — but to consume better.

Simple, Calm, Custom

You control the feeds. You set the update interval. You decide what tone your space should carry.

This is slow news, thoughtfully delivered.
