@benoit@m_c_b have you guys thought about integrating the Uber Trip Experiences API to determine how much time the user has (that is, based on how long their ride will be)?

@chrismessina@benoit Thank you Chris for this awesome feedback! I haven't looked at the Uber API yet, but it looks like it would totally make sense. As a matter of fact, I had the idea of tailoring news to my available time while I was getting a ride back from the airport. The Uber API + NOD could help make this happen. Thank you.

@m_c_b@chrismessina@benoit That would be amazing! I often don't start reading news because I know I'll get sucked in when I have other things to do. It would be great to say, "Give me 5 minutes of news."
Nice website! Just downloading the app now. I'm seeing more and more news apps offering really short summaries. Summly had short blocks of text, quartz uses the SMS layout, Finimize is an email newsletter, and now bigger news sources are creating short, punchy videos, so it'll be interesting which approach takes off the most

Great app. As most of people around i do not really have time to catch up with news. Nod is the perfect middle for me!! <3

I remember using a similar android application before but sadly they had to shut down (can't seem to recall its name). Regardless, hopefully you guys are planning to release an android version soon! :)

Circa (now defunct) was my absolute favorite for summarized news because it included visuals like charts and maps (maps!!), and offered a huge list of sources at the end of each story. It also allowed you to track a topic or storyline, bookmark stories, and save articles to pocket. My favorite part is it didn't assume because you wanted your news brief, that you wanted a bunch of entertainment crap or needed dumbed down summaries with bright colors and stickers and shit. Obviously, I miss it--perhaps this can begin to fill that void.
@m_c_b@benoit News apps are killing it lately...well maybe not killing it since the BOTS are taking over! Could you share some of the sources these are pulled from?
@natelegler hi Nate ! Thanks for your curiosity.
We curate 3 of the most important stories daily from approximately 150 sources. We chose these sources based on credibility, proximity and relevance. And the pool evolves as we stumble on new stories and sources every day.
So, in the English edition, on a given day, you could find a speed read from The Daily Beast and a long read from The Guardian for one story ; and then, maybe for a story unfolding in Asia, we'll have a short bit from Time or Mic and a deeper report from the South China Morning Post ; and for a tech story, maybe a blurb from The Verge would go well with some perspective from Scientific American.
We apply the same logic for the French edition, sourcing content from relevant and credible French-speaking outlets, whether they're based in France, Belgium, Switzerland, parts of Africa and the Middle East or North America.

Great app, That i've been fortunate enough to use since it alpha version, years ago.
Since then, it has always been on my phone, and been the right news companion, to curate the right top stories and themes/sources for me.
