Super Dope stuff! I love the bullet points and summarization features! Makes news less overwhelming and all more enjoyable!
Joe Mifsud
@elias_ali awesome! Keep the feedback coming :). We’re adding topics specifically for our PH supporters this week, are there any subjects you’d like to follow in Brief?

@jmif E-commerce/Product/CPG would be super dope! Another suggestion I have but I don't know how you would do it, a means to control fake news or inaccurate news. A worry I have when dealing with aggregated news is which of those sources might not be accurate/misleading or which of those outlets might have gotten something wrong. I find what twitter/X did was pretty cool in providing context, which is community led. Another way to overcome this might be doing a some sort of accuracy algorithm since I noticed you have a source count on your summaries. Possibly higher confidence for more trusted sources or if a news has a higher source count then higher confidence score. News lately has been about who's there first rather than who right.

If they can make Mailbrew stay alive and thrive, I’m all in!
Joe Mifsud
We certainly will @jf_martin! Brief actually powers the newly released top stories feature in Mailbrew, so you can add topics from Brief directly to your brew!

Congrats, amazing product!
Jeroen Seghers
@ivan_kuzma Thanks Ivan - let us know what we can do to make it even better for you!

Congrats on the launch. Seems like a big opportunity, as a user I'm looking forward to seeing the progress.
Joe Mifsud
Thanks @ecohen16! Any topics or subjects you’d like to follow in Brief? We’re adding ones for our PH supports this week :).

I paid for an LTD with Mailbrew, how about us? This could've been part of Mailbrew.
Joe Mifsud
Hey @jos_moons, this is part of Mailbrew! We’ve integrated Brief into the top stories Mailbrew source, you can add these to your Brew today. We’re building personalization and summarization features into both Brief and Mailbrew and you’ll continue to see updates to Brief being added as features to Mailbrew. We’re currently looking at how to integrate our personalization technology deeply into brews!

I am interested in the future personalization. I used to use 3 custom "Megites", which was like a personal Techmeme. When that was discontinued, Nuzzle was at least useful, but too populist Ideally I am looking to find unique content before it becomes mainstream without monitoring 1000 niche RSS feeds
Joe Mifsud
@andybeard I’ve gone on a similar journey myself, there’s just too much content to keep keep up with and it’s currently scattered across too many websites and social networks. RSS readers do help, but it’s still to much work to sift through. We’re working on advanced personalization and customization of your Brief so you can control exactly what content you see, what sources you want what to see content from and provide active feedback to train the personalization algorithm. I’d love to hear more about your process and what you’d like to see in a version of Brief that is perfect for you. Shoot me a DM on Twitter and we can connect!

Hell yeah, congrats on the launch! Been using Brief for a while now and it's awesome having a summary of the stories I should pay attention to delivered to my inbox every day with the ability to dig deeper if I want. Also impressed by the design and speed at which new topics/features get added!
Joe Mifsud
@golear thanks so much for your support! Glad you’re onboard!
Shray Bansal
Super cool! Are all the sources pre-selected based on the topics that you want to hear about, or can you customize where you want to get them from?
Jeroen Seghers
@shraybans right now they are pre selected. We have specific sources per topic and global sources. What you requested is the #1 requested feature on our feature board at the moment, so we will tackle that next! Feature board: https://feedback.brief.news

Congrats on the launch! Have been trying out Brief for a little and like the ability to provide summaries, but also have all the links to go deeper. There are a few sources where I get news regularly, but like the ability to find new sites, see different opinions, etc. Started to use Brief for a few different topics that I don't read about much and has been helpful to see what is going on.
Joe Mifsud
@henry_toole awesome! We think those niche topics are going to be where we really differentiate. Let us know if there are any topics you’d like to follow in Brief, we’re adding topics for our PH supporters this week :)
Annabelle Hackney
Wow this is awesome. Almost like creating your own personalized Morning Brew! Definitely going to try this out
Joe Mifsud
@annabelle_hackney thats exactly what we're going for! We're building a completely personalized Morning Brew that actively learning your interests, with topics and sources selected by you. Looking forward to hearing what you think and definitely let us know if there are any topics you'd like to follow in Brief, we're happy to add them!
