Hey guys, didn't plan on this being posted today, but happy to answer any questions. If you've ever seen those "This Week in Tech" or "This Week in Science" posts on the front of Reddit, we make those :)

@aklokus I'm glad to see this finally exists. I need somewhere beyond r/futurology
Pieter Walraven
@aklokus Love it! Most positive & optimistic news source available on the web today :) Will you do any collections in the near future? Would love to see all news about space/rockets/spacetravel !
Alex Klokus
@PieterPaul Absolutely! These are actually coming next on our list :) Thanks for the positive words.
Alex Klokus
@msitver Absolutely man, r/futurology was another factor in our inspiration. I think there exists tons of potential to create an awesome site around this type of content, and we're only beginning.

@aklokus Are you using telescope or a custom solution?
Eric Matzner
Is the content crowdsourced and who does the summaries? I am always down with anything that spreads knowledge of futurist philosophies and technology.
Alex Klokus
@matznerd Right now the content is crowdsourced from about 100+ different sources. We have a volunteer team that helps me with summarizing the content throughout the day. We're still early, but are exploring various different paths that we can take with the site. Very open to any and all suggestions

This is an awesome and much needed resource, especially when a lot of science & tech news focuses on the now as opposed to what's coming around the bend sooner than you think!
