About

I’m a designer, engineer, and founder building products that help people think more clearly. My work sits at the intersection of design, technology, and public sensemaking, with a focus on transparency, legibility, and tools that give people a better basis on which to form their own view. I’m currently building lucid.report - a media intelligence platform designed to help people compare how the same story is reported across sources, understand patterns in framing, and navigate the news with more context and less noise.

Building lucid.report taught me that information alone doesn't create understanding

Hey Product Hunt, I m Dan.

I m a product designer and engineer from Noosa, Australia, and over the years my work has sat across technology, media, and design. More recently, I ve been building Lucid, a transparency-oriented news platform designed to help people compare coverage, identify bias patterns, and make better-informed decisions.

What the work has taught me is that the problem is rarely a lack of information.

Most people are not starved of content. They are navigating what I once described as carefully shaped slices of reality where headlines, ranking systems, editorial incentives, repetition, and platform mechanics all influence what reaches us before we ve had a chance to make sense of it ourselves. That idea became the basis for The Architecture of Attention.

Why is it still so hard to see the full picture of a news story?

One thing that kept bothering me about the way we consume news online is that we rarely see a story in context.

Most interfaces present one article at a time, even though the reality is that every story exists as a field of coverage. Different outlets emphasise different facts, tone, and framing.

When you read coverage across multiple publishers, you start to notice patterns:

Lucid Report - See how the same story is reported across the world

Lucid Report helps people see how the same story is reported across different publishers. It aggregates coverage from thousands of outlets, clusters related reporting, highlights patterns in framing and narrative, and generates neutral summaries so readers can understand the full picture faster. Most news products optimise for attention. Lucid is built for comparison, transparency, and context, helping readers think more clearly instead of react more quickly.
