Wow! After so many years, this might finally be something as good as Zite. I'm so excited! Only been using it for a couple of swipes and already loving it!
OMG @phimema, I cried when they sold and closed Zite. It was definitely an inspiration for us when we started @listoryapp. Thanks for your support!
@phimema @listoryapp @prodissues yes, it took a long time for me to get over it when I found out Zite was going to close! I wish you all the best with Listory!
I've tried out a bunch of apps like this. What makes yours different?
If your app can filter out the noise and deliver targeted recommendations, I'm gonna be a loyal user!
Thanks for the support, @johnrampton! Yeah, we tried LOTS of content apps as well, and we think we're different. Other apps care more about your attention than your delight. They use content as a means to get you to click, like or keep scrolling through the infinite feed. In Listory, great stories are the goal, the rest are means to enjoy them.
So for example, Listory has a different take on "Save for later". We think that the best stories are rarely read, because people save them for later, but never actually go back to read them. In Listory, when you save for later, we integrate with your calendar and let you find a better time to consume it.
We share our beliefs and principles behind Listory in our manifesto, which is public, here - www.listory.com/en/our-manifesto
@nicolasegosum Hey! You actually don't have the ability to change your username right now but I'm more than happy to do it for you. Whenever you have a chance, feel free to message us with your email, your current username, and the username you desire. We'll keep you updated on the change :)
Really excited for the Listory launch. I'm already using to curate digital PR and social media stories that I'm repurposing in my weekly newsletter. LOVE THIS!
@prsarahevans Thanks for telling me about Listory, Sarah. The first thing I did was follow you. The second was to follow ProductHunt.
@prsarahevans I'm so happy to hear that! Everyone can become a curator with Listory and share insightful lists of content. Thanks for your support.
@prsarahevans @growmap Thanks Gail! We're glad to have you on board. Keep enjoying and creating great content.
The video makes it all sound fantastic, so I created an account. I've now looked through all the curators and not found very few of interest because like everything on the internet, it's made for Americans. I'm not interested in American views since I get that 24/7 without looking, although two Americans I would like to see included are Nick Hanauer and Scott Santens, others I'm interested in include the writing from Owen Jones, Positive Money, and Keep Productive (Francesco D'alessio).
Congratz on the launch guys!
I'll participate in the challenge and let you know how it goes :)
Just downloaded Listory and did the challenge. I'm playing with the app: design looks clean and it loads super fast. I'm refining my content right now.
Hi Ann @seosmarty Not surprised to see you here. We both seem to come across the latest platforms early. You might want to follow @prsarahevans and Product Hunt on Listory. Hopefully, there will be more early adopters sharing there soon.
This looks really promising. I especially like the option of setting up daily reading goals. I think that by adding such gamification features, as well as creating challenges, you will be able to easily drive engagement and hook people into daily use. I was trying to choose more than one content category to see a mix of lifestyle and business, but it wasn't possible. I actually like in Google search app that they mix the news stories based on a mix of my past searches/interests.
@agatakristo Our goal is to first, make content as accessible as possible and two, create an environment that allows readers to stay focus, gain as much as they possibly can, and help form smarter habits.
"It’s your delight, not how much time you spend in the app, which we are obsessed with. We rely on human expertise to refine and mine the signal from the noise, all to achieve our goal of WOW’ing you with every story." - That's from our manifesto and we stand by it :)
Have fun and as always, if you have any questions at all, feel free to message us :)
@agatakristo Thank you for the feedback Agata. We will make that possible soon I believe. Appreciate your support and glad you like it.
Hi Yaniv, 👋 @prodissues
Looks like an amazing product, Listory, the world's first content refinery! I am sure we can save a lot of time to find the things soon. Great idea!
Would like to join the challenge.
Thanks for sharing.
All the best.

Hello hunters 👋
I'm Yaniv, co-founder and CEO here at Listory, writing to you from NYC.
Listory is the world's first content refinery. It empowers human-curation and technology to extract the most relevant, interesting and credible stories for you.
In Listory, great stories are the goal, the rest are means to enjoy them.
Listory was built to delight you with every story. To ensure that, we also announce the #ListoryChallenge - a daily “bet” we invite you to take. Here’s how it works:
We bet the first story on Listory is going to be the best you’ll find during that day.
If we win - you’ll commit (mentally) to retake the challenge the next day.
If we lose, you can submit a better story for a $0.10 credit towards a newspaper or newsletter subscription
It is the product of our passion for content and discovery, and we hope you’ll love it as we do.
We'll be hanging around for any feedback/questions/ideas.🙏 😊
@prodissues This is unbelievable! I was about to launch a similar idea and it has exactly the same set of features that is really important.
I am truly amazed at this point, also i can contribute to provide add on features that could benefit the users for better curation.
Let me know if you like to discuss further. I have few ideas mapped down a few months back.
@prodissues @iamvarunnair thanks for the support! I've sent over my email to connect :)
@prodissues Amazing idea! Going to give it a try for sure. Taking the bet! Here's the thing, If you win (the first story on Listory is going to be the best you’ll find during that day), I am going to share my peers about this awesome app. All the best for the journey! Will come back in a week to share my feedback.
Hey @prodissues - Looks awesome. Checking it out tonight. Question - What's the main differences between this and Refind ?
@davepoly thanks for the support and I hope you'll enjoy the app! Thanks also for bringing up @refindcom, I didn't know about them, but am excited there's another teams with similar mission. I'll need to play with it a bit more, but on the face of it it seems we refine content differently. But again, the more products that focus on you learning and getting smarter, the better!
@prodissues Just signed up and playing around with it. Great UI/UX. I'd like to use the Read Later feature but I don't want to give access to my Calendar (I get why you'd need it but just something to think about). Who'd you guys use to create your marketing video btw? Really sleek.
@davepoly Yup, understand why you don't want to connect your calendar. You can always create a "Read Later" list and save stories to it. We made the decision to use the calendar because we know that when we save a good story for later we rarely go back to it...
As for the video - our amazing designer @savitha_pal and Nadav Arbel from - www.tmc-animation.com
@prodissues "we know that when we save a good story for later we rarely go back to it..." Ugh, tell me about it! I've been trying to solve this problem with hacks for years. Will see what Listory can do :)
Thanks @prilutskiy! wait till you see how we love using Typeform 😀 (https://www.listory.com/en/goals...)
I've enjoyed using the product so far, but I have a question for y'all.
I've had the same stories in my "For You" tab for the past 3 days...is that expected? I figured they would change every day.
Also I'd love to be able to ask this question/give feedback in the product, but I couldn't figure out how to so here I am. :)
Hey @golear, thanks for the feedback, and for being determined to give it 😀!
1. By default, you'll see the top stories in the For You, and those might stay there for awhile.
2. You can control the timeliness of stories by playing with the freshness filter (to get to this filter tap the triangle at the top-right of the For You screen.)
That being said, we're going to push a fix to an issue that caused stories to linger and not be refreshed. That might address your feedback.
Again, thanks for the feedback. Yaniv
PS. You can also reach us at support@listory.com and @listoryapp on twitter.
@golear @listory @listoryapp @prodissues Sure thing, and good to know. Part of my confusion has stemmed from the fact that stories that I "mark as read" continue showing up in my for you page.
Congrats on the launch! Love the app and the way it helps me start my day with the best stories I can't miss.
@hila_shitrit Thanks Hila! We aim to bring a better start, with content that matters.
