News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

I'm working on something very similar. I do also have built a feature similar to the timeline. (your version is much cooler.)

I had a question. Mostly the title are clickbait and doesn't represent what actually news is and many news site are biased and distort the meaning by carefully selecting the words.

How do you handle it or have plan to do it?

It's great to know other people are also trying to tackle this problem! I agree, the titles of news stories are often to grab one's attention rather than convey the true contents of a story, and we're still trying to solve this problem. Perhaps some feature that visualizes the mood/ topic of a story based on the full text, but it's a difficult problem to solve. We're open to suggestions though!

One solution i can think of it to not use the title. Rather use the backlink text. Found it more useful and descriptive.

This is involve crawling irrelevant page or probably the whole internet.

Could you explain this a bit more? I'm not sure I'm following how this would be implemented
