Show HN: Curratd read the news without distractions

from the show-hn dept.

Here is a small project I have been working on for a week or two. Basic concept is that wading through all the random tweets on a twitter timeline is time expensive, so let this site collect the most important news for you and don't worry about missing important news.

Pretty cool. Good job man. Are you planning on working on this a little more? I'd definitely use this for sports if it updated more often.

Yea I plan on doing a ton more work, currently I am trying to get past Twitter's API limits but once I solve that it can refresh every page load.

Thats practically what I am doing right now, if it has been 15 mins, I pull in new tweets, if it hasn't i read from the cache.

Interesting POC, surely there should be a lot more stories though. i can only see 7 stories and a few are about the same thing.

The whole idea is that it collects the top ten news stories of the day and presents them to the user.
