Indie developer building Gistline

About

I'm building Gistline, an iPhone app that turns each of the day's trending stories into one plain card: what happened, why it matters, and what's still unverified, with links to the reporting. I started it because I kept seeing things trend with no idea why. Happy to talk news, iOS, or how to make sense of a fast-moving story.

Gistline - Every trending story, explained on one card

Saw it trending and had no idea why? Gistline isn't another news app. It turns each of the day's trending stories into one plain card: what happened, why it matters, how it unfolded, who's saying what, and what's still unverified, with links to the reporting. Every card is compiled from that day's coverage, not model memory. Think of a team of silicon editors working around the clock, powered by artificial intelligence. Free to download on iPhone.
