Otherweb - All the news without the noise | Product Hunt

All the news without the noiseHello PH heroes!

We’ve worked really hard to try and create a place where people can read news, listen to podcasts, and search the web - without the junk and noise that bombards us everywhere else on the web.

It’s free, and it’s ad free.

Some key features: * We gather articles from twitter, reddit and other sources every few seconds. So it’s almost as fast and immediate as twitter. * We use a suite of AI models to filter out any article that triggers our junk filters, clickbait filters, propaganda filters, or extreme partisan bias filters. * We include articles from the sane left and the sane right, without introducing our own bias one way or the other. * We replace all headlines with a 1-sentence summary that actually reflects what the article says - so there’s no more clickbait or attention-grabbing headlines. * We replace the original text of the article with a bullet-point summary - so you can get the gist of it as quickly as possible and decide whether you’d like to follow the link to the original article and dive deeper. * We attach a nutrition label to each article, so you can decide whether it’s worth consuming - before you consume it. * We give you granular controls that allow you to filter your news feed by source, by category, or by a minimal quality cutoff that you can set separately for each category. If you set your cutoffs higher, you will see fewer articles - but they will be the best ones. * We have an “inbox” interface where you can just scroll down and read article summaries one after the other. You don’t need to navigate, click back and forth, or ever leave the page if you don’t want to; just read and scroll.

But most importantly, we use our own product every day, and trust me - once you read the news this way, even for a few days, you can’t ever go back.
