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.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.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.The brief version of the motivation for this is basically three fold:- 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.- Most news sites seem to have a severe allergy to linking to original sources, but often the original sources have a lot of value.- I'd often like to be able to compare new articles to what I've already read on the topic.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.
