A news app that collects the most important news pieces during offline time
Why?
So the user doesn’t have to check the news regularly but can catch up whenever they would like to. Current news apps require constant consumption because there is no coverage of old events unless they continue to create new news.
We live with a lot of stress and anxiety and checking fear-based news induces stress. Reduction of news consumption is very helpful to reduce stress but creates the risk to miss actually relevant news reports.
How?
The user may connect all their favorite news channels and indicate interests. Every time they open the app, they will receive a summary of the highlights. They may give feedback on the relevance of articles to help build more meaningful summaries.
What?
An app and browser experience that stays aware of log in times and builds summaries accordingly.
