Margin
Bite-sized news, one card at a time, in your side panel
Margin turns your browser's side panel into a swipeable stack of news cards — pick your topics, read a headline + short summary, tap through to the source. No feed to scroll, no tracking, no account. Free for 3 topics; Plus unlocks the rest.
Hey PH 👋
I built Margin because I kept doing the same thing every morning: open five
news sites, skim headlines, close most tabs without reading. I wanted
something that just gave me the headlines and a short summary, let me tap
through in a couple of minutes, and got out of the way.
What it is: a Chrome side panel — not a new tab, not a popup — that shows
one news card at a time. Pick your topics once, then swipe/scroll through
your day's news like InShorts. Tap any card to read the full article at the
actual publisher.
A few decisions I made on purpose:
• No account, no tracking, no analytics — settings and reading stats never
leave your device
• No backend at all — feeds are fetched straight from publishers (BBC, The
Guardian, NYT, etc.) from your own browser
• Optional AI summaries run on-device via Chrome's built-in Summarizer —
nothing gets sent to a server
• 25 topics, a few themes, and a reading-insights dashboard if you go Plus
It's free for 3 topics. Plus ($1.99/mo) unlocks unlimited topics, every
theme, an always-live feed, and your reading stats — wanted to be upfront
about that rather than bury it.
Would love feedback, especially on whether "one card at a time" actually
feels better than a normal feed, or just feels limiting. Happy to answer
anything about how it's built too — it's a side project, no funding, no
team, just me.
