Brief

Thanks for hunting us, @fmerian! We're so excited to bring Brief to the Product Hunt community. We've been working hard to develop a product to help people stay informed in just a few minutes a day. With Brief, you can choose from over 25 topics to receive a personalized daily digest in your inbox every morning. You can click into any story and access longer summaries and links to the original articles, so its easy to dive in if you're interested. Brief is 100% free at the moment, and there always will be a free version! We're working on a premium version which will provide next-level personalization. Our goal is for Brief to become the most useful minutes you spend with content every day. Please try Brief out and let us know what you think. We appreciate your support!

@fmerian hi, I was a fan of Mailbrew from the start. Is Brief the next step for Mailbrew or will they continue to be separate products? Thank you.

Thanks @oyvind_henriksen - so glad you're liking it! Would love to hear your feedback too. Any features you'd like to see added or topics you'd like to follow?

@jmif I'd like much more granular topics please, essentially sub-divisions of the current ones. I'd also like to get a weekly digest instead of a daily one. Maybe I could even train it myself based on a bunch of links and make my own topic, and share it with others using my own custom-curated weekly newsletter?

Really appreciate the feedback @oyvind_henriksen 🙌 We're working on a weekly digest and more powerful ways to personalize and control your brief (custom sources, more granular topics, interactive training of interests and more), stay tuned!

Thanks @radu_tudosescu! Any topics you’d like to see added to Brief?

Thanks @bahar_ozkan! Brief has a few advantages on big media companies that make a huge difference in your daily content diet: - We report stories based on coverage from around the web, so you can see a holistic view of the story. We include mainstream media publications and speciality publications, so the story is presented to you with multiple points of view taken into account. - We cover topics that mainstream media companies don't tend to (we have 25+ today and are constantly adding more). Our goal is to make Brief a place where you can find high quality, niche content about anything you're interested in. - Our personalization isn't driven on clicks, traffic and ad revenue. It's driven by the content you express interest in and by the time you spend reading it. We also take into account your interests across topics to help inform what you're interested in. - You have full control of your content. We're adding the ability to add custom sources and to control where your information comes from, so you can see an entirely customized view of the stories and sources that you're interested in. Would love to hear your thoughts on this and let us know if there are any topics / subjects you'd like to follow in Brief!

@alain_caltieri1 Thanks Alain! More local news is coming soon! I'm guessing it's time for Italian news ;)
