Frontline Five
A daily 5-minute verified briefing on an active conflict — pulls only from primary wire feeds, OSINT accounts and on-the-ground reporters, and tells you what actually changed, what was debunked, and what the open questions are.
Concerned global news consumers and current-events students who want context without doomscrolling
- Conflict-specific feeds (Ukraine, Sahel, Middle East, etc.) you subscribe to, each capped at five minutes of reading
- Claim-by-claim sourcing panel you can tap to see exactly where each fact came from
- Daily 'what changed since yesterday' delta so you don't re-read the same background every day
- Dignified push notification at one scheduled time so it never becomes a doom channel
