I'm an investor in Brief and have been using it a lot the last few months. It has been a huge help for my brain. In March I spent hours a day pulling to refresh the latest Corona virus news on twitter. I knew it wasn't helpful... but it was addictive and every new thing I learned felt SO important so I couldn't tear myself away. What if I missed something!?!?! Since then, Brief has made sure I know everything important - love the push notifications -- so I can safely close twitter without missing anything. It's the right balance for me between taking a news/twitter vacation and staying up late obsessively reading something... so I think it's really sustainable and will be my solution for news for the long term!

@maiab Thanks Maia! Founder here. Our whole team has been hard at work on Brief (so proud of everyone!), and we're incredibly excited to see what the Product Hunt community thinks. So, I'm handing out gift cards for a free month to anyone on Product Hunt that wants to check it out. Just DM me on twitter (@HobbsNews), and I'll send one your way!

I've been looking for an app like this for a while, can't wait to get it on Android! By the way, it's not accessible in Canada on iOS?

@lukasfoisy Right now we're only available in the US app store. However, we have a really a active beta testing community, and we should be able to add Canadian users to our TestFlight. Just DM me (@HobbsNews), and I'll add you (and/or any interested Canadians!)

@tomjadams yes, so sorry! We believe human, journalistic judgement is key to a good news experience. So, sadly, serving new countries is a pretty large undertaking. That said, if you'd like to check out Brief, I'd be happy to get you into our TestFlight beta which is available everywhere. Just DM me! (@HobbsNews)

Does your app allow for individuals to upload real news? There's an app that's collecting video footages of riots, fires, looting, everything fake news is avoiding, I can't remember the name of it. In addition, I have several news apps on my phone already... how is yours dif? The news app I use most allows users to comment on the stories they publish, users like to know what others think.

Awesome, lately I have been searching for an app like that and the only option was the one from Google or Microsoft but there's too much noise there. I'm outside the US so I will be waiting for the worldwide release although I DM you for the beta if that's possible 😉

Nice product! I'm on a trial subscription. Any chance of a family or duo subscription price?
