A "nutgraf" is the paragraph in a news story that explains what it’s about and why it matters. Nutgrafe does that for every article. Our AI reads every article from the world’s top news sites, blogs, and publications and delivers the core of each story in summaries of 400 characters or less, all in a familiar feed (circa 2015). Expand any post for key points and context, or click through to the original source to read more.
I built Nutgrafe because I missed when opening a feed actually helped me understand what was going on. Around 2015, Twitter felt mostly like news and updates. You could scan a feed, see what mattered, and click through to read the full article if you wanted more.
Over time, that feeling got buried under reactions, outrage, and endless conversation. I wanted to bring back something closer to that earlier experience.
With Nutgrafe, you follow topics you care about and subscribe to publications you trust, from big outlets to smaller independent blogs. We read the articles and write a short summary, a few key points, and a straightforward take on why the story matters. Every post links back to the original source, because the point is to send people to the reporting, not replace it.
Nutgrafe runs on a subscription. It’s under $5 a month, or $59 for the year. A lot of that goes toward the cost of reading and summarizing thousands of articles every day, along with hosting the platform and continuing to improve it.
As a thank you to Product Hunt, the first 100 people who subscribe can use the code PRODUCTHUNT at checkout to get 50% off their first year.
If there are publications or blogs you think we should add, let me know. I’m actively expanding the source list.
The goal is simply to help you get oriented, feel caught up, and move on. Happy to answer questions.
Great launch! 💡 Nutgrafe brings back a clean, scan‑friendly feed of news summaries with key points and context — perfect for staying up to date fast.
I have discovered an issue while using the Discover page. I wanted to subscribe to several media outlets, but I noticed that only their summaries are displayed.
There is currently no way to click into them to view more details, and I am not sure if this is a bug or an intentional design choice. This is quite frustrating because it makes it difficult to decide which sources to subscribe to.
I would like to preview the content they publish first, but it seems I can only see their posts in the feed after I have already subscribed.
Congrats on the launch, Patrick! I’ve been looking for something that captures that '2015 Twitter' feeling, where you actually learned things rather than just seeing hot takes. The character limit is a brave but smart constraint; it forces the AI to focus on the essence rather than just a dry summary. It’s a huge time saver compared to digging through RSS feeds.
The focus on linking back to original sources rather than replacing reporting is a thoughtful approach. I'm working on something similar for Japanese tech blogs, so this resonates. Are there plans to expand beyond English-language publications, or is the AI summarization pipeline language-specific?
One question: how do you deal with copyright issues on the content you're getting from these outlets?
thanks
Here's some feedback after spending about 15 minutes with it:
Home Page
- No way to hide stories
- No way to collapse stories
- No way to see how many stories from each source
- The entire weather section seems odd - if this is a news product, what is this even here?
Discover Page
- No way to hide sources or topics I'm not interested in
- Hovering over a card changes the background from white to gray which indicates it should be clickable for more information, but it does nothing - somewhat of a confusing UX - perhaps if the card is not interactable, possibly removing the on hover background color change
Topics Page
- The top 5 Trending Now and a majority of the More topics are all related to Venezuela/Maduro. Perhaps there's a way to synthesize or group all the related topics together so they don't occupy the majority of the trending topics. Especially if you're already using AI to summarize the articles, it wouldn't be hard to build a constellation of similar keywords and attach those to a Main keyword that has the most hits.
Overall I think its a solid start but could definitely use some improvements. I don't see myself using it in its current state over any of the existing options out there. Perhaps if it grows and is able to fulfil some niche that other AI news aggregators / RSS feeds aren't able to - then it could become a viable option for me.
Sounds like executive summary? Useful tool for me and i think Nutgrafe could save tons of time for me!
Name made me grin. I miss 2015 Twitter too. Quick nutgraf then move on — that’s my speed for the morning scroll. Like that it points back to the reporting. Curious about paywalled pieces and niche blogs. Gonna try it this week.
Hey Patrick! It sounds great. The only reason it makes me doubt is the way it uses to determine why it matters. Users need to set certain profile rules?
Hi Patrick, congrats on the launch!
I was taking a look and noticed you’re using Supabase. Just a quick heads-up, it looks like there may be some exposed data and possibly a few tables that don’t have RLS enforced yet.
I actually launched a small tool today called Supaleak that helps detect exposed secrets and Supabase misconfigurations like this. Might be worth a quick check to be safe.
Congrats on the launch! 🚀 The idea of AI-generated 'nutgrafs' is brilliant for efficiency. My only worry with AI summaries is losing nuance or hallucinations. Do you have a human-in-the-loop process for top stories, or is it fully automated with specific prompts to ensure accuracy?
Good stuff. Congrats on the launch!
I was thinking about a similar product with a bit different “news delivery” part: so that a user can set a cadence of receiving weekly (daily/whatever) summaries (in an app or by email/WhatsApp or any other channel they specify) of the most interesting topics from the sources they trust. Ultimately, this allows users to be up-to-date (on a frequency they decide) on the topic(s) of their interest, without wasting time scrolling X/Facebook/etc. and digging information they need.
Cool, congrats again, and good luck!
Really love the idea and the clean, elegant UI. Personally, I'm just reflecting on where it fits into my own use cases - but it's a lovely concept. Congrats on the launch! 🙌
