Ask HN: News site that provides world updates only when relevant?
I'm working on something that you might like - though it's not released yet.<p>It's a news site that doesn't write articles. It just organizes links to other peoples articles, and links to original sources, into sagas that unfolded over time.<p>For stories of sufficient note I'd like to offer the ability to subscribe to them and get email notifications when something major changes. Unfortunately I suspect that for the long tail of other stories I will need to rely on a wiki-style model for gathering links, and probably can't send notifications without it becoming a source of spam.<p>The brief version of the motivation for this is basically three fold:<p>- Most stories of any interest really unfold over a period of weeks to years, but the current news cycle really only favors reporting on them as a single one time event. I'd like that to change.<p>- Most news sites seem to have a severe allergy to linking to original sources, but often the original sources have a lot of value.<p>- I'd often like to be able to compare new articles to what I've already read on the topic.<p>Edit: Send me an email (my email is on my profile), and I'll send you one back once I have a MVP released. That's just my personal email, and I promise not to add you to a mailing list or anything.
