Ask HN: Is there a website with only short summaries of the most important news?

lots of them

I sit on the banks of the Ganges that is the news; and pick a few interesting chunks out to pile up.

I try to capture a daily snapshot of the flavor of the news, not "most important".

Defining "important" is the meta question that leads to all the other news sites existing, too.

https://spidr.today does a interesting job of gathering and batching stories from RSS feeds, if you want a more statistical approach.

No ads… no subscription… how? I’m not complaining but this doesn’t seem sustainable.

Also the ‘about us’ page 404s

I like 68knews as it runs on my retro PCs. Nothing like a cup of coffee and reading modern headlines on a 486 PC to start your day. ;)
