Love the implementation and the UI - excellent job on using screen estate and best practices like small sticky header. Such information density while still looking modern is rare!<p>However I can&#x27;t help but notice how much this shows just how meaningless and toxic news have become (or always have been).<p>About every single tile seems to be either<p>* boxed emotions, mostly in form of a dramatic two digit body count without even hinting at the underlying causes or why this should interest me other than because &quot;oh my good poor people&quot;.<p>* statements of opinion by people who are highly paid to write such pieces, which may have <i>some</i> value as a Litmus test for the general-general relationship of entities X and Y, again while completely failing to convey relevance or context.<p>What do I gain from this, besides a faux warm feeling in the chest that I&#x27;m now an &quot;informed voter&quot; or something?

It may be too late but it would be nice to replace the URL with the <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;spidr.today&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;spidr.today&#x2F;</a> variant.

Been wishing for something like this for a long time One day we’ll hopefully have the AI synthesize a précis that takes all its sources into account.
