Show HN: A news feed exclusively populated by journalists
Hi HN --
Given all the talk with new the platforms launching recently, I want to share a project. It's called Forth (no relation to the programming language), and it's a news feed for news. Anyone can make an account and curate their own feed through follows, but it's populated exclusively by journalists.
Most Americans get at least some of their news from social media, even though they don't trust it. We want to take the good (formatting, brevity, ability to follow who you want), and mix it with real fact-based reporting.
Our reporting partners cover all sorts of topics, from local news around the US, to space, chemistry, politics, everything. We're still ramping up, but already have journalists ranging from names you might see on Good Morning America to local radio and newspapers, and all sorts of verticals.
It's not social media. It's almost anti-social. No spam, no misinformation, no hate speech. Just headlines.
I'd love to hear your thoughts.

- jaredwiener 3y agoThanks -- that's odd, working on my end. But will definitely take a look. Looks like a hydration error from the SSR
- dingosity 3y agoThis would be very cool if it worked with Lynx or EWW and when you click on a story it took you to that story instead of some other page on forth.news.
- jaredwiener 3y agoThe reporters are writing their own posts. Some of those posts contain links to the article they wrote, some are just threads.
