Hey PH 👋 I built Margin because I kept doing the same thing every morning: open five news sites, skim headlines, close most tabs without reading. I wanted something that just gave me the headlines and a short summary, let me tap through in a couple of minutes, and got out of the way. What it is: a Chrome side panel — not a new tab, not a popup — that shows one news card at a time. Pick your topics once, then swipe/scroll through your day's news like InShorts. Tap any card to read the full article at the actual publisher. A few decisions I made on purpose: • No account, no tracking, no analytics — settings and reading stats never leave your device • No backend at all — feeds are fetched straight from publishers (BBC, The Guardian, NYT, etc.) from your own browser • Optional AI summaries run on-device via Chrome's built-in Summarizer — nothing gets sent to a server • 25 topics, a few themes, and a reading-insights dashboard if you go Plus It's free for 3 topics. Plus ($1.99/mo) unlocks unlimited topics, every theme, an always-live feed, and your reading stats — wanted to be upfront about that rather than bury it. Would love feedback, especially on whether "one card at a time" actually feels better than a normal feed, or just feels limiting. Happy to answer anything about how it's built too — it's a side project, no funding, no team, just me.
