  • Source links for verification
  • Related guides for deeper learning

4. Community-Aligned

We believe in:

  • Transparent sourcing (every news item cites original sources)
  • Proper attribution (we credit original reporters and developers)
  • Open licensing (content under CC BY-SA 4.0 where possible)
