this is really cool. some thoughts - a free trial would make a lot of sense for the subscription. Having the AI break things down into more variables than just significance might be helpful. For example - events vs trends. "Trump shot" vs "Shootings up X% YoY". Forward looking statements vs concrete events "Trump lays out agenda" vs "Trump signs executive order". All of those are significant in different ways. Also newness of the information is important. Top article right now is about Gazan families looking to return home post ceasefire. But that doesn't add much to the genuinely significant news yesterday of the ceasefire itself. As is, I don't get news that seems particularly different from browsing the headlines at 2-3 top newspapers.

Thanks for the deep feedback!

The default feed sorting is done for regular visitors (new first), for evaluating the output you might like the "significant first" more: https://www.newsminimalist.com/?sort=significance

On that list, the ceasefire article is on the second place out of the ~40k articles analyzed.

Having more variables is an good idea. I don't have an immediate vision on how to use it in the UI (I want to keep it minimal), but will think more about it.

I've been really torn on free trial. I currently offer a refund guarantee, but will add a trial as well soon.
