I'm not curious enough to register and try it out. I might, If I have some way to be sure it is not garbage and waste of time - screenshot at least, maybe simple interactive demo on the homepage

Completely understandable, if you're concerned with sharing your personal information then feel free to use a fake/disposable email, as there is not validation for that (yet).

If nothing else I've learned that I definitely need to have a workable demo available before sharing this elsewhere. It'll be #1 on my TODO list. It's nearly bed-time for me now, but I'll get started on it as soon as tomorrow. Thank you for your feedback!

Hey there HN! I'm the creator of Nano News. It's a fairly simple idea that I found didn't seem to exist. I'd love to hear some constructive feedback and I'm available to answer any questions or concerns you may have.

Hi, thanks for posting. Is there a demo or screenshot so we can see without creating an account?

Nice work. I worked on a product that ended up tilted in this direction once. Meltwater was one of the earlier names in this space and did well out of it.

Enterprises are willing to pay for this type of information (specifically about their clients), but it’s hard to be 10x better than google alerts, other than offering “enterprise integration” which can get slow.

Best of luck!

I have done something similar but is public access and only for tech related news. [0]. Tag cloud is generated for popular news items. That way just with one glance one can check out trending news and focus on that. Idea is to spend less then 10 minutes to consume the tech news spectrum. [0] https://embit.ca/

Nice! I think your feed is definitely more visually appealing than mine. I may have to draw some inspiration from you styling. Thanks for sharing.

I tried python data science and got mostly advertising for training courses. How do you pull the content? List of sites?
[+] MathCodeLove|5 years ago|reply
No it isn't just a simple list of the top search results. It should be filtered by results that are considered "News". It's like simply that there isn't much real "news" on Python Data Science that's been published in the past 24 hours, so it feels the gap with whatever can be found.

I really like where you are going with this!

Is there a way to reach out to you and discuss this further?

I am on Twitter @twishmay.

Got mostly irrelevant content to my keywords. Need to ask for better inputs to generate better outputs.
[+] MathCodeLove|5 years ago|reply
On the page where you add new inputs, I have a list of tips and advice for maximizing results relevancy. It's hard for me to automate what "better" is for a product like this.
