TwoSided.news
TwoSided shows how left and right report the same story.
I kept noticing something strange.
Whenever a big news event happened — an election, a court case, a war —
people were arguing like they were talking about completely different events.
Then I realised why.
They were reading different news sources, and each side was telling a
completely different version of the same story.
So I built something called TwoSided.news.
TwoSided.news shows how left-leaning, right-leaning, and neutral news outlets
report the same story, side by side.
Sometimes the most interesting part is not what they say,
but what one side doesn’t report at all.
The goal isn’t to tell people what to think.
It’s to help people see the full picture and decide for themselves.
I’m currently building and improving it.
I’d love feedback from the Indie Hackers community.
What feature would make something like this useful to you?

The "what they don't cover" angle is more interesting than the side by side comparison. That's the part that actually surprises people.
What's been the hardest part? Sourcing the stories, classifying the bias or something else?
I like the idea. Would you offer a API so others can pull the latest news feed for a site? Maybe filter by keywords?
