What exactly would people want to see different to Google News?
I've been mucking around with various things in this area for over 15 years now, but I'm just not sure what is useful to others?
Please tell me, because I'd like to build it. Reply here or email or Twitter.
I wrote this as a daily briefing, also for myself. It scrapes around 45 sites that I have handpicked. Links are ranked based on shares across social platforms: the usual suspects.
I curate each issue based on what looks good each morning and send it out at around 7am AEST.
I wrote more about it here: https://www.kripy.com/alt-all-in/.
It's a short digest of articles from a number of sources. It's not specifically hard news but it covers important stories of the day and interesting reads from across the web.
Reading books?

Idea for a browser extension: randomly when you go to a time sink site (even if the sink is only a few minutes), pull up some ebook text to read instead.
I'll throw a vote out for the New York Times daily briefing: The sample looks like https://www.nytimes.com/2017/07/05/briefing/north-korea-cnn-... It is exactly what it sounds like—a quick daily briefing of the most important things that have happened over night—kinda as if you're the President. There is a URL that you don't need to update each day to hit, but for the life of me I can't remember it at the moment.
Is there a link I can bookmark to go there? I don't use feeds or notifications but manual bookmarks so I can choose the time of reading.
I read this everyday via mobile. It's pretty easy to get to, just nytimes.com and then the briefing is the first link provided I'm not up too early or it's Saturday or Sunday.
