Ask HN: What is your “I don't care if this succeeds” project?
Over a year ago I became hugely frustrated with the narratives that were being presented to us. Every &#x27;social media&#x27; platform as well as &#x27;news&#x27; platform presents us with an undifferentiated feed of news. The problem with an undifferentiated feed is that we, as consumers, can never get a solid view on what&#x27;s happened or is happening on a single event.<p>Moreover, the existing platforms encourage doom-scrolling and keep our attention focused on one page for advertising clicks. As far as I&#x27;m concerned this is one of the most socially harmful and divisive anti-patterns created.<p>So, I started developing a site which presents a chronoglogical list of events each of which has, in chronological order, all the news articles, tweets and youtube videos I can find which are related to that particular event reliable sources where possible. Not exactly curated, but not clickbait either.<p>Looking at the site quickly I&#x27;ve got 317 articles for &#x27;Partygate: The Sue Grey Report&#x27;. The &#x27;Guinea Bisseau Coup D&#x27;etat attempt&#x27;? Around 30 articles in arabic, english, spanish, french and portuguese. The Kazakh protests? probably around 300 in more than ten languages. And there are currently 977 events. This grows every day as I find more sources.<p>To my mind this is an unbelievably valuable resource, and I want everyone to have access to it. I have plans to expand this much further and the only dev is me.<p>There&#x27;s still a ton of features I want to add before I put it out there including internationalisation, accessibility support (The difficulty in finding a chronology of news for an event which people with screen readers experience boggles the mind)<p>If I were to share it here today it would most likely get hugged to death. But rest assured that this audience is the first I will introduce it to.<p>Edit: I should also add that I am also looking for investment to increase the &#x27;dev&#x27; team. But I&#x27;m more the idea &#x2F; prototype guy. How does one start and yet protect the idea?
