ThePidgeon | News Feed Template
About
ThePidgeon is a complete newsroom, not a collection of cards. Seven tabbed feeds, 40 pages, five article shapes, a metered paywall and a full subscription flow, in clean HTML, CSS and JavaScript with no framework and no runtime dependencies.
SEVEN FEEDS, ONE FRONT PAGE
Top stories, world, politics, business, sports, culture and technology each get their own tabbed feed with its own accent, swipe navigation between sections, and a trending rail. Everything is designed at 390 px first and widened with container queries.
FIVE WAYS TO RUN A STORY
Standard, gallery, video, live and premium articles each have their own layout, alongside reporter profiles, topics, search and saved stories. The live article updates in a timestamped stream; the metered paywall counts reads locally before it asks anything of the reader.
PUBLISHING AND REVENUE, TOGETHER
Plans, a subscription account, newsletters, notifications and topic management ship as finished demonstrations. A small shop and account area extend the template beyond reading without introducing a runtime framework.
TWO LANGUAGES, TWO THEMES
English LTR and authored Arabic RTL come from the same templates and CSS logical properties, so right-to-left is real rather than a mirrored stylesheet. Reading controls, saved stories, swipe navigation and cross-document transitions respect reduced-motion and accessibility preferences.
YOU DO NOT NEED THE BUILD
Finished LTR and RTL sites ship as plain HTML, CSS and JavaScript you can edit by hand. The editable Vite 8, Tailwind CSS 4 and Handlebars source project is included as well, with no jQuery, no CDN, no icon font and no client-side router.
NEWS-SPECIFIC SEO, PRIVATE BY DEFAULT
NewsArticle, LiveBlogPosting, ImageGallery, VideoObject and ProfilePage structured data, breadcrumbs, a sitemap and Open Graph metadata are generated from the same content the pages use. Embeds are click-to-load facades, fonts and photographs are local, and nothing contacts a third party until the reader asks it to.
