BTW, if anyone here is looking for a replacement to Artifact -- I've been working on https://www.forth.news https://www.forth.news. We're a news feed for news; scroll/follow like social media, but all posts come from verified journalists who agree to an editorial policy. Would love to know your thoughts.

It’s probably in your TODO list, but would appreciate non-US PIN codes at some point! (Or at least Canada)

  If you're talking about the "Nearby" page, it's because at the moment we only have local coverage in the US. We're working on ramping up -- so hopefully we can come to Canada soon.

    Do you know yet which Canadian sources you'd likely use content from? For news matters that I have had direct personal knowledge about, I've often found that the coverage from the so-called "mainstream" Canadian news media has been quite bad. The most accurate and relevant Canadian news reporting I've seen has been from anonymous or quasi-anonymous Reddit comments, Twitter tweets, YouTube videos, blog posts, and comments on "mainstream" articles (back when they tended to allow those), for example, rather than from anybody who might be called a "verified journalist". Aggregating and selecting from the "mainstream" Canadian news media wouldn't provide any real value to me.

      I don't -- and that's one of the reasons why we're starting close to home. That said, every journalist on Forth agrees to follow our editorial policy (https://www.forth.news/docs/editorial https://www.forth.news/docs/editorial) to ensure a standard of coverage. And if anyone reading this is a reporter or newsroom leader, we'd love to talk: https://journalists.forth.news https://journalists.forth.news

The concept is cool and I like the clean look and feel; easy choice to sign up. Curious about the monetization plan, if you’re comfortable sharing.

  Thank you! Right now its ads, as you may have noticed. We're looking to do more sponsorship deals, and then potentially explore a subscription model when we feel that we have enough to warrant it. (Though still keeping some free tier.) The big thing for us, as former journalists, is to make sure we can get to a point where we can do a revshare back with the people doing the work -- the newsrooms/reporters.

If you can get the journalists to agree to stay off twitter than sign me up. The amount of brain damage that site does to unwitting lazy journalists who think a teenage basement dweller clique of keyboard activists is the voice of a nation...
