brNEWS is a realtime feed aggregator of most important news from best sources (available only in Portuguese).
brNEWS is a personal project where I was looking for learning some new tech thing, build something from scratch and deliver high quality content/news/information to people around me. This project has not been discontinued, it and two other projects (I'll open the source soon) I was working on simultaneously , I decided to work in just a project including these three ones, where I've been working fulltime. In this code has a lot that in 4Linked's source code.
