Like or skip, and tomorrow's pick gets more personal. No feed, no trending list, no pressure to keep scrolling: read it, and you're done. Your taste profile is drawn from the same picks and reactions that choose your reads, so you watch your curiosity take shape. iOS readers can translate articles on-device. Free, no ads.
Hi Product Hunt 👋
Years ago I came across an IFTTT applet that emailed you a random Wikipedia article every morning. I loved the idea, but it never knew what I was curious about. The real Wikipedia joy was the rabbit hole: following my own curiosity link by link, and losing hours to it.
dailypedia brings the two together: one article a day, shaped by your interests and feedback, and then you're done.
It's been live on both stores for more than a month: 150+ readers in 25+ countries so far, and 5000+ daily picks delivered.
A few things under the hood:
• The recommendation engine went through six revisions before launch, each tested in ten-year simulations across different reader personas.
• The taste profile isn't decoration: it's drawn from the same picks and reactions the recommendation engine reads, and it's deterministic, so the same history always draws the same figure.
• On iOS, articles translate on-device with Apple Translation; the app itself speaks seven languages.
One heads-up: onboarding ends with an Apple or Google sign-in, so your reading history and taste profile survive a new phone.
It's free, with no ads or paywall. On iOS there's an optional tip that unlocks nothing.
I'd love your feedback: did your first pick feel like it was chosen for you?
