Might be a stupid comment, but United States being first in the dropdown seems like quite a US-centric decision when the site features news sites from around the world. May be better to stick to alphabetical to make it more country agnostic?

Re: Show HN: Top headlines of the world to start the day
#42Those are 5 top headlines from various sources. They may or may not include the top 5 headlines you need to start the day with. To get them, you’d need some work of curation, either by AI or (probably better) by humans. I’d rather suggest one of the countless daily morning newsletters that give you a heads up of what’s going on in the world with links to read more. There are also podcasts that do the same. I can’t su…
The Week (UK/US) has a briefing "10 things you need to know today" that works similarly. They presented 10 news (mainly US-based) and a short snippet of the content, with the links to news sources they used. [1] is an example of the latest edition.
I used to have it saved to my Pocket daily using IFTTT, but since I left IFTTT for awhile back, I don't have a reliable way to get it pushed to me every day. Fortunately, they have a newsletter that will send just that to my inbox, so it works out somewhat.

#43It's not just 5, is 5 from each news source.

#44Earlier quoted context omitted.
The problem is not "reading the news". The problem is "reading the news first thing in the morning". Cannot be very healthy for the mind, especially these days.
> The problem is not reading the news. Why is it a problem? I’ve lived years without reading any news and it had no negative impact on my life that I know of. Nowadays I read news only because I used them as a way to learn Italian, but that’s all.
GP phrased that quite ambiguously but I think he meant "Reading the news is not the problem". At least by reading the second sentence that's the only logical interpretation.

In German I’d recommend “was jetzt” from Zeit.de

Re: Show HN: Top headlines of the world to start the day
#47Why? Honestly, who cares? I'd rather have a dashboard of my personal health metrics to start my day with - that way I know how to improve my life and how things are going for me.
Just 5 metrics I want to know every day:
1. Sleep hours / sleep rating for the previous night (good, ok, bad)
2. Projected personal net income this week (total incoming - total outgoing expenses)
3. # New users of my SaaS startup
4. Project company net income this week (total incoming - total outgoing expenses)
5. Birthdays of family / close friends today & this week

#48Just Five News: Succinct and readable Doom Scrolling, without all that scrolling.
Re: Show HN: Top headlines of the world to start the day
#49This presumably should be a Show HN. I think it looks nice, simple.
Might be a good idea to deprioritise, or flag the sources requiring subscription, especially where they are not free.

#50I wonder if there are other source countries / regions planned? It feels like quite an unusual mix atm! :-)
