In the digital age, we are constantly being bombarded by news, whether it be the latest breaking story or a bygone article dredged up from the past on social media. A story gets only 15 minutes of fame before we quickly forget when it happened and history becomes a haze.
NewsCal is a reinvention of the traditional desk calendar. It is a chronology of the year's daily stories that you can revisit whenever you want.
Previous dates display previews of that day's top story in the default month view.
Browse the day's top five headlines in a live updating feed.
Write in preferred news sources and check off favorite topics any time in your preferences.
Receive alerts of stories as they break.
In Article view, full stories load as you scroll
Pin your favorite article, or let NewsCal save the top story by default.
At the end of a calendar year, the NewsCal can be removed from its stand and unfolded back into a book. Over time, you can build up a historical archive with which you can remember the daily events of past years.
