The Crux - an algorithm to beat doomscrolling

There has be a better way to read information on the web. Wasting time scrolling, bouncing between sources, dodging clickbait. Seeking the rare nuggets with no easy way to mine insights from the noise.

I wanted an algorithm that work for me. So I built The Crux

The Crux is

  • AI summarised articles, one at a time

  • Scored & filtered by my preferences - not an "engagement algorithm"

  • Sourced from the best newsletters, blogs, forums like Hacker News

  • Distraction free - just read, skip or star. No ads, no video, just text.

I am not a programmer - I built with AI (ChatGPT/Cursor) plus low code tools (n8n, Superbase, WeWeb). It's functional, but untested in the wild.

👉 Why I’m posting: I’d love feedback from Indie Hackers.
While in beta its free. If you give me occasional feedback you'll keep a free ongoing membership.

Specific feedback I am seeking:

  • Does the proposition make sense? Do you need this?

  • What resonates, what is missing so far?

Thanks in advance - this community has been a great source inspiration and ideas.
