Why I built Arcline
Hey everyone 👋
I built Arcline because I was frustrated with how difficult it has become to follow the news online.
Most news websites optimize for clicks.
Stories get buried within hours.
Timelines disappear.
Context gets lost.
You see headlines, but not the sequence of events.
That’s what led me to build Arcline.
The idea
Instead of organizing news as endless lists, Arcline organizes events into a living timeline.
The goal is simple:
Understand:
• what happened
• when it happened
• how events connect
at a glance.
What makes it different?
Chronological timeline interface
Real-time updates
Minimal reading friction
Designed for context, not clicks
Current stage
Arcline is now live and publicly accessible.
This is the first version and I’m actively collecting feedback before continuing development.
I’d love to hear:
Does the timeline format feel more natural than traditional news sites?
What feels confusing?
What would make you return daily?
Thanks for checking it out 🙏
