What would make you switch from doomscrolling to hopescrolling?
Hey PH community π
I'm Tom, solo founder of Brightcast β launching here on Friday.
I've been building a hope platform that tracks verified global progress across innovation, health, environment, community, peace, etc. The idea came from a simple frustration: the world is measurably getting better by almost every metric, but the news makes it feel like everything is falling apart.
Before we launch, I'm genuinely curious:
What would actually make you change your news habits?
Is it the content itself? A different format? Feeling like your attention goes toward something meaningful?
A few things we're experimenting with:
Every article scored with a Brightcast Impact Score (BIS) for quality and verification
Hope Coins β your reading funds real environmental and social projects
Editorial context on every story: "Why It Matters" and "Bigger Picture"
Built this solo from Appenzell (Switzerland) on a tight budget with Next.js + React Native.
Would love to hear what resonates β and what doesn't. Thanks so much for sharing any feedback! ππ
