If you're looking for a replacement for Artifact (and for news apps in general), you should check out https://tailor.news

It aggregates the news from thousands of newspapers, youtube channels and podcasts, then serves you a summarized digestible version, as a feed and as a personalized podcast, using LLM models.

You can also ask to clarify or explain the news, and there's a new function to ask if an article's claims are supported by other sources, to avoid reading biased or opinionated information.

Heads up looks like something is broken. Trying to sign up on Android and it's asking for 4 interests. Nothing auto completes but it will take my input directly. However when I try and hit continue nothing happens.


There seems to be a peak in traffic I guess due to HN, apologies! If you have any further problems it would be really helpful if you'd let me know at em@usetailor.com


An app that aggregates the news from websites, blogs, YouTube channels and podcasts, and generate easily digestible summaries, along with a small podcast version so you can stay informed in an easy stress-free way.

Right now I’m working on including automatic fact checking and insights on how each source might be opinionated vs. reporting just the facts.

Checkout Saga [0], we've been building this for over a year exactly to fix the "I can't find anything" problem. Any feedback appreciated!

Saga’s auto linking looks very useful. The buzzy “tools for thought” (Roam, mem.ai) seem to be missing this. Am I understanding this right?


Indeed, there is no other tool out there automatically linking documents for you, as far as we know.

The idea is that Saga helps you resurface connections and ideas without having to do the manual work yourself.

This allows for a more serendipitous discovery of knowledge while you're crafting content or researching a topic.

Areas where we see great promise are: - analyzing interviews and notes for product and user research - automatically generate company or support wikis from docs - discover insights while writing meeting/team notes and documentation

Currently beta testing realtime collaborative editing and we'll start pushing towards integrating with other tools after that.


Auto linking is great. Keep pushing on this!

We're developing Saga [0] and we have many users using it for Zettelkasten, although it's not our main value proposition.

Why: Saga automatically links pages one to another, so it builds your wiki/knowledge system automatically for you.

You can also group pages in "Collections", which are smart tags similar to the Zettelkasten tagging method, which allows users to easily recollect and find notes.

I welcome anybody to try Saga for Zettelkasten and give us feedback on how we can make it a better tool for this use case!

Have been building https://saga.so with Slate for the last 12 months.

Can confirm it was a bumpy ride, but it also gave back a lot. The main reasons for using Slate over Prosemirror were the almost complete API for managing and editing a block based page, and the fact that it's written in Typescript (although partial types support is a recent addition).

We still have quite a few Slate-related bugs, and the size of our extension code to cover for slate bugs/omissions or to extend the behavior in general is now many thousands of lines long, but wouldn't have chosen anything else.

We tried Prosemirror at the beginning and it was very hard to get into. We checked again when TipTap came out (which is a wrapper of Prosemirror), but all our advanced custom logics would have had to be rewritten in Prosemirror so we abandoned the idea very easily. But we support the team behind Tiptap on another open source project, Hocuspocus, which is a client/server wrapper for Yjs, a library for collaboration with a focus on text editors.

In the end, I have PTSD from Slate, but also, we couldn't have done it without it, so thanks Ian if you're reading this!

> and the size of our extension code to cover for slate bugs/omissions or to extend the behavior in general is now many thousands of lines long

yikes, but if it's working now then just tech debt for the future.

I initially investigated using slate.js, prosemirror, and draft.js for my project https://sqwok.im but ended up writing my own parser instead, learning quite a bit about such fun api's as browser Range(), and the many pitfalls of cross-browser compatibility. It was laborious but got it to a place I'm happy with.

Congrats on Saga! It looks like something I might use and I dig the UI.


I know it sounds like tech debt...and it is. But we're to a point where we could potentially be able to integrate those extensions back into the core library and our slate-saga, so it's eventually paying back.

We really needed extensive text manipulation, so starting from Slate gave us a considerable initial boost, but congrats on building your own parser!

Congrats to you and if you try out Saga, let us know about it :)


Curious if you looked into Editor.js at all when building?

Im in the middle of sizing up text editors myself, seems like editor.js would require less work, but wondering if I’m missing any red flags and should go with Slate or tiptap (prosemirror) instead.

At some point down the road I’d love to implement collaborative editing.


We did look into editor.js and the API seems not as advanced as Slate's, mostly because Slate tries to replicate the DOM's behavior with Nodes and Ranges, so you can make edits in a very fine grained way.

If you're going for a new text editor, I'd start with Tiptap and try to check how to do advanced custom stuff with Prosemirror. Maybe if Tiptap 2 was out a year ago, we would have started with that.

For collaborative editing, definitely check out https://yjs.dev


Very cool project. Thanks for sharing.
