Sift is a fellow All Turtles product (I'm the CEO of Spot, also from AT). I'm so impressed by what this team has done to make me feel news differently.

It's a sad thing to see that products such as this exist. Have people become so weak minded that they can't handle the reality of the world anymore?

@scotty_bowler I think you're looking at this backwards. This isn't weak-mindedness. If you have empathy, you're going to feel overwhelmed and terrible when you read the news. I don't know how you got on your high horse, but that might keep you above empathy and unable to understand why this product is helpful.

@gmgrimley having empathy doesn't automatically make you unable to deal with reality - that's a terrible message to be spreading. I'd recommend you read "Can't hurt me" by David Goggins

@scotty_bowler I don't think that this app is aiming to sugar-coat news. It's just supposed to present you with a limited amount of topic, so as to avoid information overload and help you pause and actually think about the news you're reading and the bigger picture. Sounds good, at least in theory.

It’s a huge challenge to stay engaged with the critical issues we face without succumbing to the anxiety the daily headlines can create. This problem is acute now as it was when we first envisioned what Sift could be. We’re very excited to Launch Sift: Series 1. For this series we unpack issues related to immigration, guns, healthcare, education, climate, and media literacy. We explore historical background and look forward to potential solutions. We offer a slower more active way to engage with these important issues and encourage you to dig into the sources behind our content. Looking forward to hearing your feedback The Sift team

Really love the design & concept. If you're trying to build empathy, being objective is a great way to go. Along those lines I'd also like to see the authors of the content and what their backgrounds are, to build trust. Sort of like how easily accessible your sources are

I am so thoroughly impressed by Sift. I learned about it from the All Turtles podcast (also recommended) and downloaded right away. This is the most thoughtful and well-designed mobile news experience I’ve encountered in a long time. Highly recommended.
