Make it more info dense like Techmeme https://share.gemini.google/DUSuli5XiIMJ

Have a vertical scrollbar

Add rss

Masonry grid (or offer layout selector) https://share.gemini.google/gAvGtSnQ9i8b

Auto-updates so people can just leave it open in a tab and check without refresh effort

Provide bare-bones brutalist theme option, keeping only vital information

Alternate name: l.A.t.I.v / LaTiV - Vital backwards

Just my tips

Thanks for the feedback! I'll definitely review each one and think if/how can I implement them. There's definitely some tradeoffs on every decision but I'm on the phase where I'm iterating looking for the best UI/UX.

Yeah, long-term I also would look at building a viewport into the local-first Fediverse, which seems to look like an email client. https://gemini.google.com/app/5bf267d0285b01a1

And promote sharing through it.

OK. One final idea would be to have a single river-of-items in a readability presentation of full articles. No summaries, just scroll down or jump through each item. Best of luck with it, thanks.

the way you do information density btw is say "include all unique insights, facts, figures, data points, predictions, timelines, and otherwise important information with 100% fidelity"

Yep, then from that I would have an options panel to toggle only the things you want to see.

The other thing I would do on AIbriefs is have spacebar shift the card-list viewport right to the top and hide the top-most card.

This way reading the site entails loading the page and hitting spacebar after each card is read. This can already be done with Hackerbrain user-script while reading top-comments for any HN item - spacebar or clicking an item's green badge.

Thanks, this is useful. I'm working rn on a toggle to have a dense view.

Yeah, I would move the top bar to the side as that is valuable real-estate for the news and I would also make the shifts instantaneous.

- note the layout-switcher top right

About full articles - this could be a toggle switch. Perhaps have an options panel somewhere. Allow for hiding of much of the content. Have a 'bare-bones' preset.

Thanks! I'll review this. I may add a compact-view that it's more 'bare-bones' and more like your proposals.

I try and find AI articles on publishing and libraries every day. This often is inclusive of books and business. Can you possibly add a literary or publishing category. There also need to be an energy, environment, and space categories. Thank you.

I love the idea for AI news aggregator website idea. As a data analyst working with AI, it's essential to know the most updated news. And this website helps me catch any AI related news.

Thank you! Yes, I'm polling every few minutes and I tried to cover useful sources only. Please feel free to provide feedback or feature requests.

Looks clean and wired up nicely. What model API are you using for the AI summary? Great job!

Thanks! I'm using deepseek-flash and gemini-flash. I also tested other ones but these were the best tradeoff in terms of quality and price.

This is like a better version of digg

Great execution

Thank you! I'm actively working on improving it. Any feedback or feature requests are welcome.

It's funny you mentioned that. I built RNKFlow.com to bring back the old school feeling of Digg to HN and honestly, seeing how clean the interface is for AIBriefs made me think this layout is just more pleasing to the eye.

Glad you liked it. I checked out RNKFlow, and looks neat! I think UI preferences is a tricky topic, a lot depends on the type of reader and how deeply they care about the topics. I started optimizing for my own preferences, but then tweak based on feedback and added views to support other type of readers.

I like it.

Thank you :)

The font, the colour, and the dot on the tags all scream Claude slop ui.

I'm guilty! My background is backend engineer so I relied on claude design for UI decisions. I'll definitely do a review with this in mind.

maybe just strip the UI down to basics (techmeme + hacker news are mostly all about the text content)

Agreed. Otherwise I like the idea. I’m not an engineer I’m on the sales side of things where I am at, so I am curious and this may be a stupid question but how do you fact check?

I think the misinformation issue here is not as big as it may be in political related news. Nonetheless, I carefully chose only sources such as official blogs from companies (OpenAI, Google, Anthropic, NVIDIA, etc), tweets from recognized AI figures, or some of the most well known tech newspapers. There's no specific fact-check feature though.
