Now there's a sleek new UI, filtering and labeled article types. If you compress the page, you can keep the live feed open while you work!

Looks nice! Do you have Github link of this? I could fork this and make it for my local community and give them a dose of positivity everyday!

This is something that I was waiting for a long time! Thank you for this project!

first post is "It Appears Russia Is Covering Up a Nuclear Accident Again" -- not depressing at all...
Robert Gamble
Great idea but there's a lot of articles about an upcoming German recession, which is a bit depressing

Love the concept but site doesn't seem to be working. Get loading then no data.

Seeing almost only negative (and therefore depressing) news items...
Olamide
@evert_meulie I removed all other filters (at the top) except for the "positive" one. That should do it for you too :)

Back again with a revamp! It's a cleaner, more modern looking UI, and has filtering, just click the colorful labels to modify what kind of articles you see. In a short while I'll add the ability to react to articles with emoji's and comments, and use that to train an algorithm to pick through news articles - then you'll really be able to filter your news. Mine's going to be set on 'science' and 'positive' for the foreseeable future, enjoy! :)

@armatav How does the actual filtering work? Is it looking for keywords?
Amin
Great idea! Well executed!
Lachlan Kirkwood
Looks great đź‘Ť Would love to know how you're formatting articles. Are you manually submitting them or crowd sourcing content?
Dan Rockwell
I had this idea off and on, glad ya made it!

Sadly becoming more and more necessary with something like this. Mainstream media just loves pushing negative news.

It's not good to shut out negative news completely, but I think it's obvious to anyone these days that we are being bombarded with too much negativity. Definitely could use something like this to just take a break from all the sadness at times.

Where were you before? A lot of bad news I already know :( Thanks guys, this is a nice project!

Looks like a hardcore duty nowadays :) Would like to know how do you make the filtering and if would it be possible to modify the news's sources, thanks & congrats!

On opening the site, I see no data and some never-ending process going on.
Prasanna Jeyasankar
Awesome, awesome idea.

Always a fan for spreading good news. For too long have news corporations been competing for fearful news headlines and stories which doesn’t give uplifting news which people need to see more.

Maybe change the name to Positive News? :)

This site has a lot of negative news. I am not sure what algorithm they are using but it kinda sucks. Here is first example headline "Man Accused Of Shooting 6 Philadelphia Police Officers Was Federal Snitch", then this one: "The US deficit is set to top $1 trillion 2 years sooner than expected | Markets Insider" then this one: "Doctors used their own sperm to impregnate women instead of using the sperm donor the women had selected". The results are kinda depressing. #ai_failure

Awesome idea. I reckon the only challenge would be how these news are filtered/screened because "not depressing news" is subjective.
