Hey Product Hunt!! πŸ‘‹ My name is Saurav, and I'm a high school developer and entrepreneur. Lapis News is the first app I've developed, and I love where it's at now. I've always enjoyed making people smile, and eventually decided to start a project on this focus. Over the past two years, the media grabbed the unfortunate events that played out as opportunities to get more clicks. Because bad news sells, a negativity bias has plagued the biggest newspapers in the world. When I noticed the effects this pattern had on mental health (lots of research published on this), I decided to take action. I learned how to design, develop, and market a platform all from scratch, all with the goal to spread positivity. I learned how to work with Artificial Intelligence frameworks and build my own models from scratch. After putting my soul into Lapis News for the past year, I am estatic to launch the app on PH! Here some of my favorite parts of Lapis News: πŸ€– Daily good news to shut out negativity from your life and deliver you otherwise unnoticed events 🐢 A scrolling feed to view cute animals πŸ˜† A jokes page filled with puns and dad jokes πŸ“° A newsletter to start your week off on a positive note (subscribe at https://newslapis.substack.com!) You can check it out at https://lapisnews.app, or as Lapis News on the App Store.

@theindiangenius Thanks for helping out, Gyan!

I really like the idea of this product. It's so important to be grateful for the positive things rather than get bogged down by all of the negativity and outrage that feeds clicks. There's some fantastic room for growth in this product as well - the opportunity to expand in other verticals that all contribute to improve mental health and positivity. Really love seeing technology make a positive difference to people, especially in a year where everyone's mental health has suffered!
