Principal LA · Aggregator
Your city, aggregated.
A branded local aggregator in your voice. Pick where it pulls from — the open web, news sites, and public records like city press releases — and it accumulates into one site that updates every single day.

Live example: Long Beach Critic — lbcritic.com Every screen below is running on Aggregator.
One site that does the reading for you.
You define the voice and the sources. It handles the accumulating, the updating, and the extras your readers expect.
Your voice
We define an editorial voice up front. Everything the aggregator publishes reads like you, not a wire feed.
Sources you pick
Choose where it pulls from: the open web, news sites, and public information like city press releases and open data.
Updated every day
It accumulates and refreshes on its own, so there is something new whenever your readers show up.
Admin dashboard
A private interface to watch metrics, upload imagery, and manage what gets featured up top.
Weather
Current conditions, a 7-day forecast, tides, and radar for your area, included out of the box.
Crime data
A live incident map for the area you request, straight from the official public data.
Events calendar
A week and month view of what is happening nearby, pulled together automatically.
Light & dark mode
A polished, readable experience in either theme, remembered per reader.
English ↔ Spanish
Automatic translation from English to Spanish so your whole community can read it.
From call to live in four steps.

Jeff Algera
Founder, Principal LA · Long Beach, CA
I build and ship apps and agentic systems out of Long Beach. Aggregator grew out of Long Beach Critic, a local news platform I built on the city’s own open data and press releases — the same engine, now something I set up for you. You get a call with me directly, not a form and a queue.
Let’s build yours.
Book a call and we’ll map out your voice, your sources, and your coverage area. Setup is $499, then $99/mo with hosting and storage included.
