AI News app to fight misinformation
The Problem: Social media platforms such as X, Facebook, and Reddit have become the primary news sources for most individuals.

Drooid’s Approach: Drooid tackles misinformation and bias by providing all sides of news stories. It gathers articles from various journalistic sources, processes them, and then generates short news summaries, around 60 words, which cover…

Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS. I like that it is news blurbs from a lot of sources. I can read what is there or dive deeper if I need. I don’t like how the comments are on a different page. “Buzz” doesn’t seem useful. Also the buzz part is a little glitchy. It’s a young app but I like the concept. A lot of the news I digest is headlines. I then dive deeper if I am interested. This gives a little deeper headlines without having me read a article bit gives me an option to read more if I want. It shows me a couple of different headlines in the same place. I like how it labels the headlines so you can have a sense of the lean it is coming from. I like that…from apps.apple.com

I made a built-from scratch Wayland Compositor to display any GUI app* in the terminal! I think there is a lot of unexplored potential in custom Wayland compositors, a lot of really cool things you can embed existing applications into! So, I started with embedding apps into the terminal because that is the easiest input/output (output is just utf-8 and I use the great `chafa` library for that, and I just read from stdin for the input). If you have any other ideas for cool Wayland compositors, let me know. I purposedly wrote 80% the app in Typescript to appeal to the most developers and…

Years ago I stumbled across a basic version of this concept and it stuck with me. I knew if I was ever going to take on such a project, it would need to be flawless, but without coding experience it was just another idea that would never happen. By the end of 2024, as AI coding tools exploded everywhere, I finally had a way to make it real. I started from zero knowledge and spent months collaborating with AI agents as a learning experience. Every pixel and every function went through me. The AI translated what I asked for into code, but every decision was human. I didn't use existing OS…
