http://www.leftrightcenter.io/ http://www.leftrightcenter.io/ I'm working on an alternative to Google News that shows the same event from multiple news outlets/perspectives so that you can draw your own conclusions. Let me know what you think!

Funny, we're trying to build something similar (though slightly different) with https://98clicks.com https://98clicks.com

Interesting idea but the design right now is, well it feels like it's assaulting my eyes. Looking it on a laptop right now and each story element is just way too large. The font size is almost comical. The size of each story should be cut down like 50-75% I think.

Cool concept, along the lines of Allsides.com. I'm behind ReadAcrossTheAisle — LMK if you want to talk about collaboration opportunities.

Good work on getting this off the ground. ive seen all-sides before, but i think ur closer. when i thought of this idea - in my head it was a heat-map, in a rectangular grid pattern. Political affiliation was just 1 gauge u could select. u could navigate the grid by clicking left and right on a page and u would be presented with an article. down the matrix would goto other sections of the news. News needs to be disrupted, and politics isnt going to be the thing that does it. Think of it this way, if i go out, i dont go and hang with politicans. I hang out with ppl i like. I hang out with ppl with similiar interests. If i like sports, why cant i read an entire newspaper, with my likes represented? Why can i only read a "sports magazine" or "the sports section"? ppl who like sports, are interested with things that effect sports. it could be the weather, it could be a policy change, it could be beers being on special on saturdays when i hang out and watch it with my friends. My idea starts by presenting the user with binary options, the choices they make will lead into other choices and finally a curated "newspaper" is presented. each article they are presented with, they can rank in a binary way, which further curates their experience. hit me up on captainjonoo [at] gmail if any of u are keen explore these ideas.
