Twain is a machine learning news app, designed to find, recognize and deliver the most relevant trending articles and topics - not just stuff you get on your social feeds, but hopefully lots of great new content! :) Using complex algorithms, from millions of sources.

I like the design - understated, not glaring, and no bling. Sucks you in a little bit.

Pros:

Trump feed - con & pro - is reduced. I find at least one interesting article every day, from sources I wouldn't have discovered otherwise.

Cons:

I would like to see a desktop app.

Miran, good to see this on Product Hunt. I've actually been using Twain for a few months. Was initially kind of rough, but over the past two months it's really surfaced a lot of interesting articles and content that I don't see covered elsewhere. Personally, I've unfollowed a ton of people on FB over the past year (sick of politicized rants) which has definitely affected what their algorithm serves to me newswise. But just because I mute outraged hyperbole doesn't mean I want to ignore topics or news sources, even if biased. I'm really impressed with the app - great job so far.

@jtreichel Thanks, Jeff! You're right, initially it was kind of rough, but glad to see you noticed the improvements :)

Big fan of the app, which I've followed since its launch. Love the clean UI, the curation and surfacing of trending topics, and the grouped articles. As a news junkie who bops between a few different apps each day, I've found myself turning to Twain more and more to get news from different sources. I've found it a better, more robust replacement for the Yahoo News Digest app, which I was sad to see go (despite Yahoo's many other failings, it was pretty good). Nice job, Twain team!
