This should be gamified. Use an LLM to generate a mini-quiz on the topic to make sure I read it. Give me points for acquiring new useless knowledge, and let me compete with my friends and family.

I like this idea.

I don’t know if I will do anything with it, but I would like to create something like this. Find it hard to develop when I’m not in work, as it feels like work.

You are a Sadist Lmfao

I want this, but with high quality news sources. And then sort such that topics are distributed.

Does it fight algorithm addiction or does it just utilise existing algorithm addiction to give you something slightly more informative?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

Apparently it doesn't use a personalised algorithm. So I'd say the first one.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 month ago

I would disagree on the "slightly more informative" part. I have used it and in my opinion, it's "highly informative and educational".

It's like what vaping is to nicotine addiction.

Better than the alternative, buttt

Butt nicotine? What kind of weird stuff you into?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Blowimg smoke up people's asses, duh! /s

I think it's more "Butt as an alternative to algorithms" which I fully agree with. Butts are better than algorithms

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Depends on the butt, I've seen some nice algorithms.

I've downloaded the app and left a five star rating. The app works great! Please show support to this developer ❤️

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

What app? Isnt just browser bsed?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

It's app based. I found it on Google Play.

I just installed it and was immediately annoyed by the auto-scrolling feature being turned on by default. Is that really how TikTok works? How does anyone put up with this shit?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

Not sure but i support them for trying. Maybe leave a review and ask the dev to change it.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

It’s not. You have to enable autoscrolling on TikTok.

I'm imagining one of those that feeds you random tvtropes instead

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I too find this such a nice refreshing take on wikipedia. It’s only been a few days, hope the developer improves it further. I realize some kind of recommendation algorithm opens a pandora’s box, but one can dream

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

One big thing i hope they add is sorting by topic, so i can have a biology feed, a physics feed...

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

they have this already, at least on the app version
