What We Offer
Honest answers to simple questions about the news
The Simple Idea
News happens over time. A story breaks, more sources report it, facts get clarified, sometimes things turn out to be wrong.
We watch this happen continuously, so you can see the full picture instead of a single snapshot.
What You Get
See Who Reported First
When a story breaks, we timestamp every article. You can see which source published first and who followed hours or days later. No guessing, just facts.
Track Stories Over Time
Stories evolve. New details emerge. Facts get corrected. We show you the timeline so you can understand how the story developed, not just the latest version.
Find Similar Stories Grouped Together
Instead of reading the same story 50 times from 50 sources, we group similar articles together. You see the story once with all the sources that covered it.
Know Which Sources to Trust
We track how sources behave over time: Do they break stories first? Do they issue corrections? Do they retract false stories? This gives you real data instead of brand names.
See Multiple Perspectives
We monitor sources from different regions, political leanings, and types (newspapers, tech blogs, wire services). You get a broader view, not just one bubble.
What We Don't Do
- ❌ We don't tell you what to think. We show you the information and let you decide.
- ❌ We don't use AI to "detect" truth. We use timestamps, source tracking, and behavioral patterns.
- ❌ We don't pick sides politically. We track sources from all perspectives and let you see them.
- ❌ We don't rank by popularity. A source with a better track record ranks higher, even if it's less famous.
How We Do It (Basically)
We monitor RSS feeds from news sources continuously—every 15 minutes, 24/7. When articles are published, we capture them with exact timestamps.
Articles about similar topics get grouped together automatically. We track which source published first for each story cluster, and how the story evolved over time.
Over time, we learn which sources consistently report accurately, which break stories first, and which sometimes get things wrong. This builds a track record for each source.
That's it. No magic, no AI, no secret sauce—just careful tracking over time.

Our Limitations (Being Honest)
- • Coverage is focused. We monitor around 900 active RSS feeds from major news outlets. We focus on quality over quantity.
- • We can't detect all false information. If multiple sources report the same false story, we'll show consensus—but consensus isn't always truth.
- • Breaking news is messy. Early reports often have errors. We flag this, but you still need to be cautious.
- • We're constantly improving. This is a work in progress. We'll get better over time as we collect more data.
