Ghana News Digest is a Ghanaian News Aggregator connecting users to their favorite Ghanaian News Sources all on one platform. It's a personal project I've been working on for about 3years now. I started this project to learn koltin and shared it with a few friends that liked it and decided to release it to the world. After some months, I decided to use it to learn iOS development as well. It has been an incredible experience knowing the app I developed is the way over 2thousand people get access to local news. The app has delivered over 3.4m articles, has amassed over 3k downloads from both Google's Playstore and AppStore.
What's New
I've been working on making digest better and working on releasing a major update. With a simpler color scheme and user experience improvements. I'm also migrating the backend from PHP and MySQL to Postgres. Gradually replacing the node rest API with GraphQL powered by Postgraphile.
