Hey HN, author of the site here! Happy to answer any questions. (below is the project description I used when posted about it on Reddit) The problem I have with most news sites is that I can't read only important news: an article about a virus outbreak is followed by some celebrity gossip or another smartphone release. But even on sites that focus on important events articles are posted every day and there are always…

I really love this. Thank you. Question: are you using ChatGPT to summarize the article and making that the title of each post?

Yes! I do exactly that. In the early version I posted the original titles, but many were too clickbait-y and hard to read. I find the rewritten titles much easier to scan through.

These headlines are basically the same as I get going to Bloomberg.com/markets over the past couple of of days.

Yeah, today is very economy-heavy day. But in the past issues there were more articles about health, science and environment.

Nice job! The high-rates articles all seem weighty.

0.5/10 might be the sweet spot for best of the worst.

- WWE Draft 2021: Triple H announces draft picks and new brand exclusivity.

- Kim Kardashian and Pete Davidson reunite at 2023 Met Gala.

- Vladimir Putin's lover Alina Kabaeva makes rare appearance at gymnastics event in Siberia.

I’d love to see some dials to find even worse news in the future. :)

What a great way to see the bias play out in real time.

A sentiment analysis plot of all the sources could be insightful both for users as well as a way to tune the weight of sources in the future. Very cool

Could you please expand your thought? Not sure I fully understand the idea.
