Project Overview

NutsNews is a calm, mobile-first positive news platform powered by automation, AI curation, serverless infrastructure, CDN caching, centralized observability, and a private admin portal.

The platform collects uplifting stories from trusted RSS feeds, filters out stressful topics, creates short cheerful summaries, and links readers back to the original publishers.

Mission

NutsNews exists to make positive stories easier to find.

The platform focuses on stories about:

Community
Wellness
Science
Culture
Animals
Travel
Lifestyle
Nature
Space
Creativity
Human achievement
Inspiring people
Helpful discoveries
Remarkable moments

The goal is to become a fully automated positive-news discovery layer that helps readers find uplifting stories from around the web.

What NutsNews avoids

NutsNews intentionally avoids content that creates stress or conflict.

The platform filters out stories mainly focused on:

Politics
War
Crime
Tragedy
Violence
Fear
Market panic
Financial stress
Election conflict
Government conflict
Outrage-driven news

This keeps the product focused and preserves a clear identity.

Product experience

NutsNews is designed for quick mobile reading.

Each story card gives the reader:

A clear title
A short cheerful summary
A source label
A published date
Category badges
A story image when available
A link to the original publisher

Article image when available
Link back to the original publisher

This supports discovery while respecting the original publisher.
