ContextNews
A social news platform anchored to sources
A social news platform should orbit articles, not abstract takes. ContextNews anchors discussion and reactions on real URLs from your feeds—so threads can cite reporting, not screenshots.
Conversation without a viral feed
There is no infinite "For You" tuned for outrage. You read contexts, open articles, and comment where the text lives. That keeps the social layer secondary to the journalism—not the other way around.
It pairs naturally with news perspectives work: multiple outlets in one lane, then discussion on each piece.
Trust and moderation
Healthy communities need reporting tools and policy alignment. Use account controls and reporting as documented; operators can manage abuse via admin tooling where enabled. The product goal is durable discussion tied to sources.
Sharing contexts
Where supported, public or tokenized share links let others browse curated lists. Tokenized shares stay outside the sitemap by design—see news by context for how private lanes work.
How this fits the rest of ContextNews
Start from the home feed, add contextual news habits, and use optional AI news aggregator features where you want orientation before a deep read.
For a feed you can audit, see personalized news feed—same inputs-first philosophy.
