14-year-old builds Tinder for News 📰💕

Alex is a 14-year-old maker from Ireland and has been learning to code for a year. He had an idea for a news app, which he's been building during the summer vacation weeks. On Sunday, he shared it with the Product Hunt community.

Alex's Tinder-style news app was Sunday's #1 product. 🏆

Swiipe News turns the day's headline into a game: swipe left to dismiss an article, swipe right to save it for later, and tap to read it. It feels like Tinder, where you control your own destiny. You can choose from over 50 news sources, and filter the headlines by emoji-based categories.

In his updated maker comment, Alex says that the positive reception by the community has inspired him to continue working on Swiipe and continue pursuing his new career. 🙏

Grow your app with Setapp: revenue, users, & AI

You shipped the app. Now comes the part nobody warns you about.

Billing across dozens of countries. Licensing agreements. Tax compliance. Customer support for users you haven't met yet. And if your app does anything with AI, add provider management and infrastructure costs to the pile. None of that is why you started building — but all of it is now your problem.

Setapp is trying to take it off your plate.

You probably know Setapp as the subscription marketplace — one monthly price, hundreds of Mac apps. On May 21st, they turned toward developers. The pitch is simple: list your app, reach users who are already looking, and let Setapp handle the business layer.
