These 8 news sources include: Hacker News, Reddit, Product Hunt, Slashdot, Designer News, Github, Medium, and Readability Top Reads.
The app delivers all news with only text and images uploaded along with the article. You might find some additional features in some articles which may vary with article and the news source. The app also lets you share any news with others along with opening it in the default browser. The other options include enabling/disabling any news source and to re-arrange them as per your preference.

All the news items are displayed in a list form along with the title, uploader name, and the number of comments, etc..
All the supported news sources are displayed to you at top bar with each of the news sources being displayed as an icon.
