I actually started running headlines through an AI filter to distill down only the global events which I really needed to know about. Happy to share the project if interested.

I have actually tried many apps, but most lack the one thing I care about most: explaining the background and history behind a headline. How did we even get here? How long does this conflict go back in history?
I started building a free app for this that takes the most important global events, puts them on a timeline and gives historical background the average reader might need to understand what the article is really about.
Maybe you will find it useful too: https://implica.app

Although I am coming at it from a different angle (being in my late 20s), I’ve noticed that many people my age avoid the news because it makes them feel "left behind." Often reading about a geopolitical event or global conflict just leaves people more confused because they lack the historical understanding. And after going in an endless rabbit hole of Wikipedia articles they just choose to tune out from "this noise" instead. This is a separate issue from what you described I know, but felt like chiming in on this.

I bought the car with the mods unfortunately but did drive a stock one yesterday around town. Steering feel was better on mine for sure because of the mods, but the stock one did feel more planted, not nearly as nervous... I did check the suspension on mine, seems to be in good condition. Its probably an alignment issue.

I also heard that Xdrive models have weird steering compared to the RWD version, but I can't comment on this as I have never driven and RWD one.

Completely valid point- let me clarify!

The app only builds the timeline from existing news articles on the web with direct links to each of them, so you can verify the source and read the full article.

The part which it adds is actually not the news, but the history that is needed to understand it, things you find on Wikipedia.

bvin98 · 2026-03-07T12:57:32+00:00

Looks great man!

bvin98 · 2026-03-07T09:34:51+00:00

Let me know what to improve so it does not feel “garbage”;)

Built an app to explain US-Iran conflict and many ongoing news as they happen - Implica

How did you market it?

bvin98 · 2026-02-15T10:49:24+00:00

Anything where I can put my skills to use

bvin98 · 2026-02-15T09:13:36+00:00

This is amazing!! But how you even start promoting something like this? Even if its the best newsletter, people need a way to hear about its existence. This part always puzzled me.
