Interesting. Is there a way to shape it to topics you care about? It's all about Sudan and Ukraine, which while globally important I'm much more interested in local (Australian) news / tech news.


Hey, author here.

Yeah, the initial idea was to uncover globally significant news, but a lot of people are asking for ways to find "locally important" or "industry important" news. So I'm shifting my direction a little bit.

It's currently possible to filter news by broad category in a paid version (health, science, tech). I plan to expand the list of categories, so it's possible to go deeper. I also plan to add news in other languages (translated) and add country filters, so it's possible to see only news related to individual country/region.


Thanks for building this! One thing I'd love is for there to be fewer duplicates.

The top 6 stories at the moment are duplicates of a single story:

7.7 - Russia launches intense air attack on Kyiv, Ukraine claims to have shot down all 18 missiles.

7.1 - Series of explosions heard in Kyiv as Russia attacks.

7.1 - Massive Russian missile strike hits Kyiv in attempt to destroy Ukraine's new air defence systems.

6.9 - Kyiv targeted by dense Russian missile and drone attack.

6.9 - Russian drones and ballistic missiles attack Ukraine's capital after President Zelensky secures new arms pledges.

6.9 - Russia launches intense air attack on Kyiv with drones, cruise missiles, and possible ballistic missiles.


I'm not a paid user (yet?), but it seems on the pricing page that you can pay $10/mo for shaping topics to your prefs.
