Wow, this is interesting. It seems to be scan of the front page of a variety of physical newspapers. I've bookemarked it.
This is really cool. I've been brainstorming how to build an app that allows you to browse major newspapers by country/region so you can easily get exposed to news in other places. I think it would look something like this site. If someone does this first or this site becomes like that (it needs an index and grouping system) I'd love to hear about it.
This is very interesting. Is it updated daily? How does the site get the images? They are extremely high quality.
This is great! How are you dealing with copyright issues here?
I would assume it falls under fair use. I had the same reaction until I realized, as cool as it is, you only get the cover. Every article on a page ends with a "turn to page A9" type of prompt and since those pages are not part of this they're not distributing the whole article.

My $.02, IANAL, etc., etc.

this is a really cool idea.

Can I make a feature request?

I should be able to search on some tag like 'Afghanistan' and get the pages from the papers around the world with articles on it.

Likewise for yesterday's pact US/UK did with Australia : Would love to quickly scan what the editorials in US, Europe, China, India etc have to say on it.

Front pages all around the world categorized: https://en.kiosko.net/
Seems to be a delay there, where OPs site focuses on the current day's papers. Still cool nonetheless.

This is a nice tool. I wonder, if with some additional bells and whistles, like machine translation, bookmarking, and tag search, this could be a product people would be willing to pay for.
You'd probably then need to actually get permission from the news publishers

Surprised this hasn't been on here, possibly other main url (minus files.)
