Great job on launching this app! It's so important to get news without the opinions.

@ayesha_awan1 Thanks Ayesha! I agree

Great idea and great name. The opinion section used to be a couple pages in the newspaper. Now it's one of the main traffic sources at CNN, Fox News and NY Times. Just look at the prime real estate it gets on their homepages. Really like what you're doing here!!

@stevebenjamins Agreed. Maybe it's a result of the war for clicks that we have nowadays. Opinion pieces tend to get more clicks because they generate a more emotional response from readers. Weirdly, I'd love it we could make Vanilla the most boring place to read the news on the internet.

Great idea! How are the articles created? Are you manually editing or is this an "AI" thing that removes the opinions from each article?

@danielxli Hi Daniel, at the moment we're manually editing them. The next version will include a way for subscribers to vote on what is an opinion and what is a fact, as we don't think it's right for one company, person or algorithm to be the arbiter of truth!

@chris_mark3 Makes sense! Seems like an interesting way to engage readers but also tough to execute!

Hi guys, Hope everyone is well after New Year's! I made this because I find it so frustrating to read the news and get constantly bombarded with both left and right-wing propaganda. I just want to keep up with current affairs with a good knowledge of the facts, so I've created a website which edits out the obvious opinions from articles and just leaves the facts. In the future, subscribers will be able to vote on what is fact and what is opinion, since I believe that it's important for the masses to be the arbiters of truth, rather than one person or company. I'd be very grateful for any feedback (particularly negative), and would love to chat about potential ideas, issues or thoughts. Thanks, Chris

This is great. How are you doing it? Are you using tech or doing this manually?

@greg_productpair Hi Greg, at the moment we're manually updating it every day, but the next version of the website will allow members to essentially vote on which bits to remove.
