Add a news source manually

Edit src/content/feeds/news.yaml and add an entry following this schema:

- id: outlet-slug           # unique, lowercase, hyphenated
  name: Outlet Name
  url: https://example.org
  rss: https://example.org/feed/
  description: One sentence description.
  tags: [news, politics]    # from: news, labor, politics, international,
                            #   investigative, environment, socialist,
                            #   progressive, local, independent

Verify the RSS URL works before submitting — paste it into a feed reader or your browser.

Add a learning resource

Add an entry to the appropriate file in src/content/resources/ or create a new .yaml file for a new category:

- title: Resource Title
  url: https://example.org
  description: One or two sentences. What is it, why does it matter.
  category: Organizing        # displayed as section heading
  type: guide                 # article | book | guide | tool |
                              #   video | course | archive
  tags: [strategy, tactics]

Add a mutual aid network

Edit src/content/networks/mutual-aid.yaml:

- name: Network Name
  url: https://example.org
  description: One sentence description.
  region: National            # National | International | or a city/state
  subsection: Active Networks # Active Networks | Direct Action | Survival
  tags: [food, disaster-relief]

How to submit manually

1. Fork the repository on GitHub
2. Edit the relevant YAML file
3. Open a pull request with a brief description of what you're adding and why
4. A maintainer will review, verify the link/feed, and merge

You can also open an issue if you want to propose something without writing YAML yourself.

Support the project

Frontporch has no ads and no investors. If you find it useful, you can donate via Liberapay — a free, open-source recurring donation platform.

What we include

• News: editorially independent outlets with a public interest focus
• Resources: practical, freely accessible guides, tools, and archives
• Mutual aid: active networks with a real web presence
• DIY/Skills: genuinely useful, accessible practical knowledge

We don't have a strict ideological checklist, but this project skews toward grassroots, worker-centered, and community-powered sources. Corporate media, think tanks funded by billionaires, and paywalled content generally don't belong here.
