Brightcast: Good News Daily

Hey Indiehacker community 👋

I'm Tom, solo founder of Brightcast.

I've been building a hope platform that tracks verified global progress across innovation, health, environment, and community. The idea came from a simple frustration: the world is measurably getting better by almost every metric, but the news makes it feel like everything is falling apart.

I'm genuinely curious:

What would actually make you change your news habits? Is it the content itself? A different format? Feeling like your attention goes toward something meaningful?

A few things we're experimenting with:

• Every article scored with a Brightcast Impact Score (BIS) for quality and verification

• Hope Coins — your reading funds real environmental and social projects

• Editorial context on every story: "Why It Matters" and "Bigger Picture"

Built this solo from Appenzell (Switzerland) on a tight budget with Next.js + React Native. Would love to hear what resonates — and what doesn't.
