An open-source, AI-powered "news in short" app that delivers quick, clear summaries from reliable sources —so you can stay informed without feeling overwhelmed. I built this over the holidays along with @sandeepg33k. Tech Stack: - Exa: for AI news summary - Next.js: framework - OpenAI: gpt-4o for AI analysis - AI SDK: for AI generations - Google Cloud Run: for deployment - Upstash: caching and rate limiting and of course Tailwindcss and Shadcn components! 100% OSS and free. https://github.com/panda-sandeep... PRs welcome!

Great, now the only thing left to do is to create a "brainrot" version that puts the content into TTS and overlays it on top of a Minecraft speedrun or Subway Surfers and I might actually start reading news again :D

@glenntoews Great idea! We’ll add it to the roadmap alongside holographic news and VR rollercoaster updates. ;)

Realy good product but I want to know what is the difference between epigram and insorts ?, It looks same for me, you added AI content.

We automated news sourcing and summarization. We don’t rely on a large team of humans to manually read and summarize the news. This makes it less prone to errors and reduces bias. Also, less UI bloat. Modern and minimal design. ☺️

@fazlerocks How do you deal with copyrights when using third-party articles to generate AI insights?

@emersonlaurentino We don’t. We’re using the Mediastack API, which partners with various sources to resell news.

Heads up. Seems like the github link is broken.

@sentry_co We’re using a direct GitHub repo link there, which isn’t supported by PH. The link is broken because PH adds some parameters. 😅

@fazlerocks I think links that a reposted more than twice or trice are ignored. But you can write the link with something like: www.google(dot)com etc
