Ask HN: Is there a website with only short summaries of the most important news?
- h2odragon 2y agolots of them mine is: https://snafuhall.com/ https://snafuhall.com/ I sit on the banks of the Ganges that is the news; and pick a few interesting chunks out to pile up. I try to capture a daily snapshot of the flavor of the news, not "most important". Defining "important" is the meta question that leads to all the other news sites existing, too. https://spidr.today https://spidr.today does a interesting job of gathering and batching stories from RSS feeds, if you want a more statistical approach.
