In plain words

Slower News is a news application launched in 2020 that curates content for users seeking a different approach to staying informed. Designed for people overwhelmed by constant news updates, it provides news consumption at a reduced pace. The project is open-source and available on GitHub, making it accessible to those interested in alternative news delivery methods. It caters to readers who prefer thoughtful, less frequent updates over traditional high-volume news feeds.

    This is a minimalist news digest site that helps readers understand the biggest news happening around the world in one minute. We work on this as a side project. So why are we doing this? Welp, I myself am a clickbait hater. Sometimes I click into a news story on Facebook just to find out the content is nothing as the title suggests. Born from pure hatred, we have created One Minute News to make sure every headline literally says what the content is about. This helps readers save tons of time filtering out unimportant news just by scanning through the honest headlines. So far, here are the…

    I’ve always wanted a news app designed for people who don’t stay up-to-date daily. That pays attention to when I check-in and what stories I’m aware of and adapts to me. You see, I’m not a good “follower” of the news, and I “catch-up” fairly infrequently. When I do, I want to see the most important things I’ve missed in the meantime, not today’s top stories. I’d like to emerge from my metaphorical cave after a week, a month, or longer, and quickly see what I missed. That’s Old News. I built it for myself, but if you’re like me (statistically, you probably aren’t!) you may like it too. It is…

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
