I just killed 99% of Votap's news feed

🚀 Road to 1,000,000 Votap users - Day 111 | Current: 2057

Until now, Votap was publishing articles every hour. Hundreds of unrelated articles, barely any engagement, and votes spread everywhere. But Votap is NOT a news aggregator. We want people to open the app, see the most important political development and actually vote and discuss it.

We've just launched the first version of our new AI-powered news system:

→ 5 media outlets per country (UK & US so far).

→ Every 24 hours, AI looks for the biggest overlap in coverage alongside other signals to identify the most important story.

→ It creates one Question of the Day and selects the most relevant article from each outlet.

→ The result? ONE big political question with coverage from up to 5 different news sources.

We're testing this now, and we'll gradually add more outlets. The next iOS update will bring this together in our new Stories tab. One major political conversation per country, every day, instead of hundreds of disconnected articles.
