This is like a better version of digg Great execution

  Thank you! I'm actively working on improving it. Any feedback or feature requests are welcome.

  It's funny you mentioned that. I built RNKFlow.com to bring back the old school feeling of Digg to HN and honestly, seeing how clean the interface is for AIBriefs made me think this layout is just more pleasing to the eye.

    Glad you liked it. I checked out RNKFlow, and looks neat! I think UI preferences is a tricky topic, a lot depends on the type of reader and how deeply they care about the topics. I started optimizing for my own preferences, but then tweak based on feedback and added views to support other type of readers.

I love the idea for AI news aggregator website idea. As a data analyst working with AI, it's essential to know the most updated news. And this website helps me catch any AI related news.

  Thank you! Yes, I'm polling every few minutes and I tried to cover useful sources only. Please feel free to provide feedback or feature requests.

Make it more info dense like Techmeme https://share.gemini.google/DUSuli5XiIMJ https://share.gemini.google/DUSuli5XiIMJ Have a vertical scrollbar Add rss Masonry grid (or offer layout selector) https://share.gemini.google/gAvGtSnQ9i8b https://share.gemini.google/gAvGtSnQ9i8b Auto-updates so people can just leave it open in a tab and check without refresh effort Provide bare-bones brutalist theme option, keeping only vital information Alternate name: l.A.t.I.v / LaTiV - Vital backwards Just my tips

  Thanks for the feedback! I'll definitely review each one and think if/how can I implement them. There's definitely some tradeoffs on every decision but I'm on the phase where I'm iterating looking for the best UI/UX.
  - adrianwaj 13d ago
    Yeah, long-term I also would look at building a viewport into the local-first Fediverse, which seems to look like an email client. https://gemini.google.com/app/5bf267d0285b01a1 https://gemini.google.com/app/5bf267d0285b01a1 And promote sharing through it.

    OK. One final idea would be to have a single river-of-items in a readability presentation of full articles. No summaries, just scroll down or jump through each item. Best of luck with it, thanks.

  the way you do information density btw is say "include all unique insights, facts, figures, data points, predictions, timelines, and otherwise important information with 100% fidelity"

The font, the colour, and the dot on the tags all scream Claude slop ui.
- michelmi 13d ago
  I'm guilty! My background is backend engineer so I relied on claude design for UI decisions. I'll definitely do a review with this in mind.
  - gneuron 13d ago
    maybe just strip the UI down to basics (techmeme + hacker news are mostly all about the text content)
- matthew_payne 13d ago
  Agreed. Otherwise I like the idea. I’m not an engineer I’m on the sales side of things where I am at, so I am curious and this may be a stupid question but how do you fact check?
  - michelmi 12d ago
    I think the misinformation issue here is not as big as it may be in political related news. Nonetheless, I carefully chose only sources such as official blogs from companies (OpenAI, Google, Anthropic, NVIDIA, etc), tweets from recognized AI figures, or some of the most well known tech newspapers. There's no specific fact-check feature though.

Looks clean and wired up nicely. What model API are you using for the AI summary? Great job!
- michelmi 13d ago
  Thanks! I'm using deepseek-flash and gemini-flash. I also tested other ones but these were the best tradeoff in terms of quality and price.

I try and find AI articles on publishing and libraries every day. This often is inclusive of books and business. Can you possibly add a literary or publishing category. There also need to be an energy, environment, and space categories. Thank you.
