Richmond, IN and Wayne County, Indiana news and headlines from local newspapers and other sources
This is a fascinating local news aggregator built by Chris Hardie. It’s somewhat reminiscent of my own local news aggregation work, though mine is in the form of a less accessible OPML file of local news feeds that one could subscribe to in a feed reader. It certainly took more work for him to build, but I’d also guess he’s got more people reading it than are taking advantage of my own set of curated feeds.
Thanks, Chris! If you haven’t already seen these, I shared some related background and details:

Enjoy.
I think it was the first one that had brought me to it and I’d already bookmarked the third, but I’m glad to have the other missing piece now. Thank you!
I wish there were more little aggregation/discovery-based independent sites like this on the open web. I’ll add your example to the IndieWeb discovery page, and maybe it will inspire others. It also reminds me that I need to look at sources like Patch again and see if Nextdoor.com has feeds, though they probably don’t provide much/any filtering.
