Hey guys, didn't plan on this being posted today, but happy to answer any questions.
If you've ever seen those "This Week in Tech" or "This Week in Science" posts on the front of Reddit, we make those :)
@aklokus Love it! Most positive & optimistic news source available on the web today :)
Will you do any collections in the near future? Would love to see all news about space/rockets/spacetravel !
@msitver Absolutely man, r/futurology was another factor in our inspiration. I think there exists tons of potential to create an awesome site around this type of content, and we're only beginning.
@matznerd Right now the content is crowdsourced from about 100+ different sources. We have a volunteer team that helps me with summarizing the content throughout the day.
We're still early, but are exploring various different paths that we can take with the site. Very open to any and all suggestions
This is an awesome website, and something I'm going to start checking more regularly. Just curious - what do you think about the idea of pulling content out from the images so they become searchable by topic? I.e. I see that "energy" is a repeating topic in each "this week in science," so it might be cool to see all the developments in that subtopic.
Great question. Right now all the posts are tagged by category, and the stories for the image are typically sourced from those already on the site. We're currently working to integrate search, and then to allow users to filter their homepage by category!
We took a lot of inspiration from not only PH, but also inbound.org. They have tons of great features that we're looking to implement in the near future.
This is an awesome and much needed resource, especially when a lot of science & tech news focuses on the now as opposed to what's coming around the bend sooner than you think!
Report
In the "best of" section, it would be great to be able to pick which week and month you want to see, so to have a historical view of each week and month.
@federicopistono That's a great suggestion! I'll add it to our list of to-do's. Right now the feed is pretty heavily focused around news, but based on our testing it seems as though videos are typically some of our top rated content.
As noted above we also create weekly science and tech summaries, but are looking to get into more niche weekly summary categories as well, including AI, VR, Wearables, etc.
@pascalw, thanks! We're still early on, but hoping to grow it into a valuable resource. Please do let me know if you have any ideas or feedback to share.
