I started working on this after seeing a bunch of super depressing news stories one day. I got the first prototype rolling in around 25 minutes and Product Hunt really liked it. The next version was sort of disappointing because I didn't know how to do the AI, so I ended up trying a bunch of complex scraping systems. In this version, I took the time to grow my AI skills and tuned a big pre-trained neural network to speak news with a couple hundred thousand news articles; and that's the neural network doing the analysis.

❓
It's trained to stop;
Emotional manipulation
Shock content
Politically charged things
Polarizing content
...and a whole bunch more; it's now my de-facto morning news consumption system.
(These are hand labeled trying to avoid any sort of bias and focusing solely on the value of the content)

There are no ads in this app, it would conflict with the intention of the app. Instead, I use a freemium model - users are given some amount of free usage per day, and for unlimited use it's $7.99/month or $1.99 per week. Users are paying for access to the filtration AI, and I want to make sure that the AI (and whoever trains it in the future, probably just me) stick to their principles.

Coming soon;
🤖 Android app: will be available on the Play Store
📰 Source selection: choose which news sources you want the filter to act on
🚩 Flagging: help train the AI by removing the articles that get through
