In today’s internet, headlines have become traps. They tease. They mislead. They make you click, only to find that the story is nothing like what you expected. We built oneminutenews.org as a response to the clickbait age. Our mission is simple: Give you the news in straight forward language and rank them based on their importance. The result? Clear, honest, no-fluff headlines that tell you exactly what happened, the way real journalism used to.
📰 This is a minimalist news digest site that helps readers understand the biggest news happening around the world in one minute.
We work on this as a side project. So why are we doing this? Welp, I myself am a clickbait hater. Sometimes I click into a news story on Facebook just to find out the content is nothing as the title suggests. Born from pure hatred, we have created One Minute News to make sure every headline literally says what the content is about. This helps readers save tons of time filtering out unimportant news just by scanning through the honest headlines.
So far, here are the current features One Minute News is offering:
Rewrite clickbait headlines into honest, straightforward, and literal titles.
Filter out unimportant news.
Rank news importance with a rubric-based, time-decayed scoring system
Allow readers to filter news with preferred tags.
Compile periodic digests/briefings that summarize high-scoring articles every 6 hours.
Display the source link back to the original article.
Bookmark news.

This positioning really stands out. Calling out clickbait directly and committing to ‘tell me what happened’ feels almost radical now. I’m curious how you decide what counts as ‘important’ when ranking stories, and how you keep that judgment consistent as news volume grows
Does it unbullshiti-fy (you have to trademark this!) only by rewording clickbait or there is also some fact checking under the hood? I loved the feed, and it looks kinda refreshing: the sentences are quite long, enough to make the brain work
the clickbait problem is real. i stopped opening most news apps because the headline says "major breakthrough" and then it's just a study with 12 participants and a huge disclaimer at the bottom. appreciate the straight-forward approach here. curious how you rank importance - is it algorithmic based on source/engagement, editorial judgment, or some mix? also wondering if you filter by topic or just top global stories
That is very useful for busy people, who just want to have a glimpse of what's happening around the world. Will this be available in other languages too?
If you like honest headlines, minimal design, and staying informed in one minute, we’d love for you to check it out and share feedback.
Thanks to everyone who supported 🙏
Means a lot ❤️
I like the option of filtering and tagging the news so I can filter out what is important to me. Need to praise a minimalistic design ;)
