Great product, but what about copyrights? Aren't the outlet going to be mad at you for summarizing their articles so people don't have to click through?

@new_user__31120226669374ad0558fc5 actually, most aggregators copy the news outlets' headlines, their images, and excerpts of their articles. We don't. Our headline generator creates a new headline, our summarizer creates a bullet-point summary, our models create a new nutrition label, and we don't use any of their images. AND we still link back to the source. So I think this is the very definition of "fair use" - we use as little as possible of the original content, we add new value to it, and we link back to the original content.

Very interesting app and concept. It would great to see this grow to the point that publishers feel incentivized to publish less digital junk to avoid being filtered out of Otherweb.
Alex Fink
@chrismore thanks Chris, indeed that is the hope. If we make one platform that shows there's demand for high-quality content, the externality will be that all platforms will start rewarding higher-quality content.

Just heard @florin_biro talking about this! I can't wait to give it a try. Definitely seems right up my alley.
