Building Sainteur: a free markets news site with the sources under every story

I'm building Sainteur, a free markets news site. It's a work in progress, and I wanted to share what I'm aiming for and what I've learned so far.

The idea

Most markets news I read is either paywalled, buried under sign-up prompts, or full of hype. Sainteur covers equities, crypto, startups, macro and politics in one place, with a few rules:

  • Sources linked under every story, so you can check the claim yourself.
  • Prices are time-stamped, because a number without a time is meaningless in markets.
  • Open corrections when something is wrong.
  • No paywall, no sign-up, no "buy now" calls.

There's also an RSS feed at sainteur.com/rss.xml if you'd rather read it in a feed reader.

What's next

The plan is for each story to be readable, listenable and watchable, so you can switch formats depending on whether you're at a desk or commuting.

Feedback welcome

If you read markets news, I'd love to hear what makes a news site worth coming back to for you, and what makes you close the tab. Comments are open.

I'm Emiliano, on X as @emilianooo.
