Founder here, thanks for the shout out!

There's https://www.newsminimalist.com/ where 30k news articles per day is ranked by significance, maybe it's what you're looking for?

I made News Minimalist (https://www.newsminimalist.com/), where I deduplicate and rank ~30k articles a day. For each story the most credible source is picked. Might be what you're looking for.

I'm sorry for plugging my project twice in this thread.

But what you're asking sounds extremely close to what I made: https://www.newsminimalist.com/

If you want fewer stories (by default it shows about 25 a day), adjust the slider to a higher significance threshold.

Thanks! Good point.

I think there will always be some hallucinations until they're solved on a model level, but I'll also try to nudge AI now to be more precise with the headlines.

I don't oppose these ideas, but it's a matter of priorities. There's just many other features and improvements to implement that seem more valuable.

I think the closest thing to what you want is the newsletter I send 2-3 times a week: https://newsletter.newsminimalist.com/

It's available via RSS too: https://rss.beehiiv.com/feeds/4aF2pGVAEN.xml

I attempted to make a weekly version, but quickly dropped the idea. Over the course of the week articles often became outdated (not just old, but plain wrong).

I found that an optimal newsletter schedule is sending it about every 48-72 hours, depending on how eventful that period was. With this frequency, the articles rarely become outdated, and at the same time it's not too frequent to get tired of.

Thanks for the deep feedback!

The default feed sorting is done for regular visitors (new first), for evaluating the output you might like the "significant first" more: https://www.newsminimalist.com/?sort=significance

On that list, the ceasefire article is on the second place out of the ~40k articles analyzed.

Having more variables is an good idea. I don't have an immediate vision on how to use it in the UI (I want to keep it minimal), but will think more about it.

I've been really torn on free trial. I currently offer a refund guarantee, but will add a trial as well soon.
