RAAF recruit had chilli in eyes and was set afire and choked in hazing ritual (dailytelegraph.com.au)

I’ve been building GetZen.news, a minimalist news app that cuts out 99% of the noise and only shows you what actually affects your life based on your job, city, and interests.

You can even ask it:

“Why does this matter to me?” And it’ll explain why it showed you that article.

It’s early just a waitlist for now but the idea is to replace doomscrolling with context-aware news you actually care about.

  Live here → https://getzen.news

Would love feedback, questions, or concerns especially around trust, filtering logic, and how to avoid building another “black box” feed.

Thanks for checking it out!

I think there really, really has to be a demo (at least screenshot mocks).

How will you collect the data (about me)? How much? How much more individual will this be compared to just subscribing to my city's newspaper (or a trade magazine, if we're talking job-related news)?

This may be just me, but I also think collecting emails here is a really weird first step — most news services provide at least a blurb of each article w/o any kind of signup, so this broke my expectation in a "what do you need my email for" kind of way.

Hope that helps.
