Hello HN,

This a small side project I built a few months ago and I find myself using it quite often to stay up to date so I thought I should share.

Its updated every few hours.

Feedback welcome.

Clean in this context means clean from clickbait headlines and presenting information more factually

How do you determine factually? Or do you filter out anything that isn't described as factual?

For example, you have

"Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says North Korea has become directly involved in the war, with a senior Ukrainian intelligence official saying around 3,000 North Korean troops are now in Russia, and are training for deployment to Russian-occupied territories. (Politico)"

which I have no clue if this is factual. How did you determine that it's factual?

When i say factual i mean a description thats straightforward and objective. No sensationalism or misleading framing to provoke an emotional reaction

Are you changing the titles to remove anything emotional or misleading manually, through AI, or some other way?

The source I am using is already doing a good job at that but i plan to use more sources (for example reddit) and use gpt to remove misleading titles if there is enough interest in the project.
