Experience

A news platform built around evolving stories, not isolated headlines.

Most news products present a stream of disconnected links. One News Page groups trusted reporting into persistent story threads, showing what happened, how coverage is developing, and which sources support each update.

Persistent story threads

Related reports become one evolving record rather than a succession of disposable headlines.

Source convergence

Coverage from multiple trusted publishers reveals where reporting corroborates, develops, or diverges.

News Radar

Visual signals surface fast-moving topics and changes in editorial attention.

Search and context

Readers can move from a current event into related coverage, topics, and earlier reporting.

Views

One coherent experience—from breaking news to searchable context.

Readers can scan the day’s developments, follow an evolving story, search connected coverage, or move into written and narrated Global Briefings.

Ingest Organise Brief Verify Publish

Ingest and organise

Trusted feeds are normalised, deduplicated, clustered, and scored into persistent developing stories.

Enrich and brief

Kimi supports structured editorial enrichment, briefing scripts, and tightly bounded revisions.

Verify and narrate

GPT-OSS checks claims against source evidence before Deepgram Aura-2 renders the Athena narration.

Encode and publish

A Cloudflare Container assembles and validates the final audio, while immutable R2 artefacts and exact-edition recovery keep publication auditable.

Topic continuity

Topic dossiers connect the current lead story, source evidence, related subjects, and earlier coverage within one persistent record.

Build

Designed as a product. Hardened as a live system.

I led the product strategy, editorial model, information architecture, interface design, Cloudflare implementation, and production hardening.

Delivery followed small, testable passes: define the contract, build the narrowest complete slice, instrument it, exercise failure modes, then deploy and observe.
