Horizon - Daily world news & markets, scored by fixed rules — not AI

by•
Most "AI news" apps ask a model how severe today's news feels. Horizon doesn't, for most of it: Markets, Cyber, Disasters, Sanctions, and Space weather are all scored from fixed, public thresholds (GDACS, NOAA, OFAC/UN sanctions lists, IODA, IMF PortWatch) an LLM only picks and summarizes the day's actual world/geopolitics events, nothing else. keeps a real daily archive with dated pages (not a feed that scrolls away and disappears), publishes a public RSS feed, works in both French and English.

I got tired of two things: news apps that are just an aggregator with no memory of what happened last week, and "AI news summarizer" apps where you can't tell what's a real signal vs. the model's mood that day. So for Horizon, I made a rule for myself early on: an LLM only gets to judge the one thing that's genuinely subjective (picking and summarizing the day's actual world/geopolitics events). Everything else — Markets, Cyber, Disasters, Sanctions, Space weather — had to come from a fixed, documented threshold against a real public API, never from asking a model "how bad is this." That constraint shaped most of the build: finding a free, reliable, no-key API for each domain (GDACS, NOAA SWPC, OFAC/UN sanctions lists, IODA, IMF PortWatch...), then a threshold I could defend rather than tune to look dramatic. The other thing that evolved along the way: I started treating the daily archive as a real feature, not a byproduct — dated pages, public RSS, nothing behind a login. It's free, no account, no tracking. Would love feedback, especially on what's missing or what feels off.
