A weekend-buildable news frontend wrapped around real backend APIs—article search, Firebase messaging, and a multi-publication CMS you cannot fully reverse from the crawl.

You can clone the interface in days, but not the 10+ years of journalism credibility, investigative reporting pipelines, and an audience built on Telex's reputation as Hungary's leading independent news outlet.

A prompt can rebuild

A Nuxt-powered news portal with category-based article routing, search functionality, and quiz features. A prompt could rebuild the homepage layout, navigation structure, and basic article display in a weekend.

What you can't see

Firebase-backed backend (Cloud Messaging/Installations APIs for push notifications), custom article indexing/search API, Facebook Reactions integration, CRM/analytics (Performax), and likely a headless CMS or proprietary DB serving article content across multiple subdomains (Telex, After, G7, Karakter).
