Twitter Like News App

Hi everyone, My name is Stuart and I've been solo developing a news app (and now newsletter) for the past half a year or so. tl;dr (current status): an app with a Twitter like feed of news events. The posts are 1-2 sentences, only actual events (no opinion, analysis, roundup, evergreen, etc), categorized into feeds, and tagged (lets you dig wikis or find events for a given entity). There is also a newsletter I just launched that is a bit cleaner in terms of UI, but with less features. longer: My goal is to make it easier to stay informed and access information (not such a hot take that news…

In plain words

Twitter Like News App is a news platform featuring a Twitter-style feed of factual events in 1-2 sentence formats. The app organizes news into categorized feeds with tags for exploring specific topics or entities, filtering out opinion, analysis, and roundups. It's designed for readers seeking a cleaner way to stay informed without lengthy articles. A newsletter version with simplified UI is also available.

In the maker’s words, at launch

Hi everyone, My name is Stuart and I've been solo developing a news app (and now newsletter) for the past half a year or so. tl;dr (current status): an app with a Twitter like feed of news events. The posts are 1-2 sentences, only actual events (no opinion, analysis, roundup, evergreen, etc), categorized into feeds, and tagged (lets you dig wikis or find events for a given entity). There is also a newsletter I just launched that is a bit cleaner in terms of UI, but with less features. longer: My goal is to make it easier to stay informed and access information (not such a hot take that news and media suffers from a UX issue). What that will look like in the long term, I can't possibly know. Although I have many theories, all I can do is iterate and keep an open mind. My first attempt at cracking this is to shorten the unit of information from an article to an event, thus saving the reader valuable time and mental energy. If you want to read more about how I do this check out https://www.airvue.blog/p/approach I'd love to hear your feedback on the idea and/or app (forgive the janky UI). Thanks, Stuart p.s. if this sounds like something you'd like to work on, don't hesitate to reach out. I have an engineering background but would love someone else to hack with newsletter link if interested: https://www.airvue.app/subscribe

    I made a thing! In 2014, I was holding a stack of iPhones and thought to myself: "Hey, if I had each phone display a playing card, I could click a button and they'd shuffle themselves" I pared that idea all the way down to this: trading cards made of e-ink displays. Right now, each card costs me about $20 each, but with only a bit more scale, I think I can get that down to $10. In doing this project, I learned how to design electronics and circuit boards. I learned Rust and wrote my first driver, I upped my CAD skills, 3D printed, and did my first resin casting. I generated the images on the…
