Hi everyone, I'm excited to finally share Ellipsis News - a project I've been pouring my heart and soul into over the past 6 months. I built it to solve a simple problem I had: I wanted a much more efficient way to consume news on topics that mattered to me (either in my personal or professional life) without spending time and energy scouring various news sources and formats trying to piece together the information I needed. The availability of advanced LLMs, global news APIs, and lifelike text-to-speech models made this a seemingly straightforward problem to solve, and I hope many of you will find the app as useful and enriching as I have since building it. How Ellipsis News works is simple: 1. Choose or define any news topic that you want to stay updated on, no matter how broad or niche (for example: "World news headlines", "Middle East conflicts", "Fintech VC funding", "Central American politics and economy", "Wind energy investments in Southeast Asia", "Music festival announcements in Spain and Portugal"). 2. Choose between 3 lifelike podcast narrator voices. 3. Receive smart, balanced, unbiased, engaging, and highly informative 5-minute audio and text briefings on your chosen news topics every day, derived from stories published in the last 24 hours from 150,000 global news sources (you can also receive episodes in 30 languages, with more to come). There's a lot going on under the hood of the app, in that it sorts through tens of thousands of potentially relevant news articles for each topic, using AI to identify the top 10 articles that will provide the most informative and balanced episode covering highly-relevant stories. My hope is that this app makes a meaningful difference in helping people stay well-informed and up-to-date on topics they care about. This is just the beginning of the journey for Ellipsis News, and I would love to hear your thoughts and feedback on how the app can be further improved to make it as useful to as many people as possible. Thanks for taking the time to check out Ellipsis News! Harrison

@harrison_brook I’m intrigued by Ellipsis News and its promise of delivering concise news briefings on chosen topics. However, one question I have is: can I specify my preferred news sources within the app? This feature would greatly enhance the customization and relevance of the content I receive. Overall, it seems like a useful tool, and I’m curious to see how it develops!

@harrison_brook, This is an excellent tool—I'm definitely going to give it a try. I already have a feature request, though: would it be possible to include the sources used by the AI to generate the podcast? Given the nature of generative AI, it's important to cross-check the information with the sources to ensure accuracy.

Massive fan of the minimal design, so sleek. Would be great to have it generate a podcast automatically based on your history and to make them every week or so. Keep up the great work!

Congratulations on the launch! I'm very pleased to see this product, and I believe its market potential will be significant. However, I have a question: aside from the content returned by the AI model, I noticed there is source information from news websites. But most news sources are based on RSS services, which do not provide detailed information. How do you address this issue?

@an_zuo Thanks very much! Linking to RSS sources may just be a few isolated cases - the vast majority of links point towards the complete and original articles that underpin each episode. If you can provide an example of the issue you're seeing that'd be really helpful!

@harrison_brook I've studied RSS before, and I'll sort it out for you when I have time in the future
