I'm quite curious to try the app, but just tried to download and discovered this doesn't seem to be available in the UK at the moment. Any plans to expand to other countries?

@iamsebj Thanks for checking out Thread! Sadly, we're US/Canada only at the moment. We use a mix of machine learning and human curation to surface articles and podcasts and as an early-stage company we just don't have the capacity to operate in too many markets yet. But the UK is next up on our list and we're planning to expand later this year!

@iamsebj @nicholas_gerard Is Germany anywhere soon on the list? I really like the concept! (Or do you have a newsletter/notification we could subscribe to?)

Hey Product Hunt! I'm Nick, one of the makers of Thread, and I'm thrilled to share our launch with the Product Hunt community. We built Thread because we felt burned out on social media and wanted a simple, healthy way to keep up with the news and our favorite podcasts. Thread is like Spotify for news. It's an ad-free news and podcasts app that's built to complement your routine – not take over your life. Every day we round up the ten best articles from your favorite blogs, publications, and sources and deliver them to you in a single push notification at a time you choose. It's a quick, digestible news playlist crafted just for you, delivered when you want it. You can also browse featured and recommended articles, search for shows, topics, and sources, and share what you're reading and listening to with friends, groups, and followers. (We want to encourage healthy conversations on Thread so like and follower counts are always hidden and reactions and replies are private.) We'll be on here all day so send us your questions, comments, and feedback, and thanks for checking out Thread! Nick

@nicholas_gerard Great work. Is this human curated service? What is your plan for monetization?

@bkim9324 Thanks! It's a mix of human curation and machine learning. We're planning to roll out a $1/mo subscription along with premium features next month. Let me know if you get a chance to try it out, I'd love to hear your feedback!

I'm very intrigued by the team's aspirations. This is definitely on trend with where social media is headed: personalization and high signal to noise ratio of UGC

It’s so nice to use an app that feels like it was made for me instead of for others to profit off me.

Great on boarding and distraction free UX. Set up my categories and daily notification so we’ll see what bubbles up.

Nick and team are building out a really great experience here. I’ve been a beta user for a few months and I’m impressed with how much better this feels than other news apps that are all just pushing click-bait.
