That is really awesome! I really like the UI and the idea. I am wondering... Is there a Lucene Index underneath? There are "only" 200.000+ Articles, since when are you crawling? and are these really "curated", as it states? Are you guys really reading/filtering everything by hand? Thanks!

Thanks Tom! Max from Lateral here, we made the extension. We're using the Lateral API to recommend news, specifically the news recommender. The news recommender pulls in content from various news sources RSS feeds and processes them so we can recommend them. So the curation is regarding the sources not the articles. We started collecting articles in November last year, there's actually over 330K now. You can read a bit more about the news recommender here: https://lateral.io/docs/text-matching/pre-populated-recommenders#news https://lateral.io/docs/text-matching/pre-populated-recommen...

  Just checked out Lateral and it seems really cool. Just wondering what your monetization plan is. I'd like to use this for a site I develop at work, but wouldn't want you guys to suddenly announce exorbitant fees or shut down due to insufficient funding.

    Thanks for the interest! We have a tiered subscription pricing based on the amount of calls being made and records being stored to recommend from. I’d be very happy to chat in more detail and to send over some additional information. My email is martin@lateral.io
