Oh good eye, Sorry must have missed that one. I used a few code templates for my site where I had to go in and manually delete the google tracking which was on by default and adjust a few other things. I will my best try to remove it ASAP. I did check the site with like one of those cookie blocker add ons on chrome but it said there wasn't anything, so I'm glad you pointed it out. Thank you.

Outstanding work!

I remember a TV based news program was created decades ago like this. They shut it down after a few months as hardly anyone watched it.

What does that say about people in general? We don't care about good news as much as we care about bad news.

This is great! We need more people like you in this world. Just downloaded your iOS app. You must really have a great paying job to be maintaining your website/app ad-free. Either way, kudos to you on achieving something you always dreamed of

Very interesting initiative! I'm curious: how do you deal with positive news that can be controversial?

e.g. nuclear energy is having several good news as investment grows to use as a replacement for coal (like in Eastern Europe). Things are looking good, and it's a good step for the environment. Would that be included, or - due to potential controversy on public misconceptions - it gets filtered out?

I guess all categories too, but I was only referring to AI.

Thanks for adding it, i think it's very important that these tools are available to everyone that can't afford them, I also like to support open source because we can accomplish a great deal when we work together.

While I'm here I'd like to ask if a tool is available for me as a farmer.......in many ways it would be like Siri, I could ask the weather, humidity etc.....I could ask for companion planting recommendations.....but what if I need it to set reminders for me? ie; If I say, Siri, i am planting cherry tomatoes in garden bed 1 today, could it recommend that I plant basil with it, could it give me a reminder around harvest time? 6 months later can I ask, Siri, what kind of tomatoes did I plant in garden bed 1? Can I upload my soil tests to this 'siri' and then out in the field one day can I ask, Siri, what is the calcium to magnesium ratio in the bottom paddock?

Stripe is a payment gateway and to use it you need to embed their javascript on your website. their script includes tracking code that sends your activity on the page to their server

Exactly what I needed today.

What’s a stripe tracker?

Wow thanks ! The oral I insulin story made me happy - I don’t need it but would imagine how awesome that would be for someone who does.

That's solid! Will add that.

Open source AI in general?

Subbed- thank you!

Totally agree with what you're saying. The subreddits I mentioned are hit and miss but I haven't found anything with sufficient articles that could satiate my desire to read positive, real stories on a daily basis.

Looking at OP's website at the moment, I saw lots of medical-related articles which don't particularly interest me in general. What I would like to see is a mix of r/humansbeingbros, r/funny, r/UpliftingNews and r/getmotivated but without any negative backstory to it (eg. . Guy on the street who gets $50 that will last him for 1 day, Person survives Stage 4 Cancer, etc). Many stories are billed as "positive" but get you thinking of struggles people are going through... And when you're in that mindset, you're not in a position to help anyone else.

So, basically there needs to a site with all the news that nourish your mind and keep it in a light-hearted state so you're in a good frame of mind for your day.

I actually nearly dismissed this website completely because I was expecting the kind of "positive" stories to be similar to the ones on r/UpliftingNews. I'm so so glad they're not. I've now added Happy Daze to my home screen as the quality seems different.

As you said, Reddit is rife with negative stuff - and the "uplifting" subreddits are honestly no better. Every bit of "positive" news is based on the foundation of the dystopian nightmare we call society. So many of those stories are like "all of our forests are being destroyed but oh, at least we stopped one company from destroying this one bit of land... for now". "Basic healthcare is prohibitively expensive but oh, at least one company said they're looking into transparent pricing". etc

Of course, you can apply that logic to any feel good news if you're pessimistic enough - but just a warning to be very careful what you're consuming - especially if it "claims" to be uplifting. Positive news doesn't generally drive clicks and upvotes so I often find there's an undercurrent of negativity/sadness in those posts.

When I'm looking for a positive experience, I get the hell off Reddit and I honestly just scroll Pinterest and look at illustrations - it's one of the only algorithms that feels like it isn't trying to anger me into engaging with it. It's just showing me stuff I like to see.

There's a stripe tracker on every page.

This is lovely

This is felt like a breath of fresh air. Thanks for making this!

Great stuff - thanks for helping the internet to be a better place.

I couldn't immediately tell, but do you allow people to submit their own links/articles? The thing I've found with positive news sites is that they don't have the same breadth of articles as say r/worldnews. Most people have ADD when it comes to this sort of stuff so it would be nice to have a very diverse set of constantly added news, otherwise people will not regularly return and eventually forget about your site. The only way I know to counter this would be to have many contributors. Maybe you could make it work in parallel with a same named subreddit and cross-post articles bi-directionally from your website to the subreddit? Then, your other social media outlets like TikTok can help promote it further. Your website would be the central "repository".

My 2c ;)

I second this. Reddit and most social media is just rife with lots of negative stuff. Even seemingly innocuous subreddits like r/AskReddit are terrible for this ("What your worst experience..?", "What annoys you the most about..?" etc. One of the biggest drawbacks with the official Reddit app is that you cannot unsubscribe from negative subreddits as far as I know. So if you click on one of these subs and participate, you will start getting them in your feed causing a feedback loop.

Some subreddits I subscribe to are: r/MadeMeSmile, r/UpliftingNews, r/GetMotivated. If anyone knows more, please add in a reply!

I've seen so much negative stuff, some making me question my faith in humanity. Thank you for this

Thank you.

Thank you!

Thanks!

I'm going to look into this.
