I like it. If you would like to share any insights in how you've built this, I'm quite curious. Perhaps it goes without saying, but if you prefer not to say for whatever reason, then I respect that.
Hey HN, I'm looking for some feedback on NDN, it's a little MVP that will eventually give you only the not-depressing news from all over the web - it's seeing quite a bit of retention, and I'd like to know what you think! I'd like to turn it into a product, but it's pretty hard to see where to go.
Just a tiny bit of typography on the links would go a long way to making the site look more professional.
So, you're just taking the list from https://www.reddit.com/r/UpliftingNews/ ? You should at least name/link them somewhere...

I just bookmarked your site in the hope that you will find the energy to continue this for a long time. The interesting thing is that there is a big gap between our personal life and what we read in the news. While what we read in the news is often terrible, depressing stuff, our personal life is usually good, mostly manageable and not threatening at all. For most of us, life is worth living. And notdepressing.com ca…

Upliftingnews overpowers any other subreddit when you mix them together, so it makes sense to do just them for the MVP - I'd like to scrape from as many news sources as possible in the future, but I've got work to do for that.
Doesn't work at all for me on FF63. A quick look at the dev console - I think tracking protection blocks it from loading reddit which it wants for whatever reason. Probably a 'proxy through the back-end' job. edit: I just realised I have reddit's DNS blocked. Oops. FF still brings up tracking protection regardless I think.

No clue how to monetize it though.

Promote it on Twitter. There are periodically requests there for some kind of relief from negativity. No clue how to monetize it though.
Didn't know Twitter people needed relief from negativity, I should do more research.

Do you have a main audience (i.e. age range, field of work) you're shooting for? What do you care about seeing in the news? How do you discern between truly good news and 'puff pieces'? One thing I've actually liked is the approach of organizing news of the sad with the good. Deregulation nation ( https://deregulationnation.substack.com/welcome ) is an example where the newletters are organized by bad/better/good/gre…
