Hi everyone,

I’m raising funds to improve and scale BrightNews app I’m building as a hobby project, especially filtering of the news.

I started it because I got tired of how much of the daily news cycle is built around fear, outrage, politics, war, crisis, and constant negativity.

I’m not trying to pretend bad things don’t happen. They do.

But I also believe that when people consume only negative news every day, it slowly changes how they see the world. It can make us more anxious, more cynical, and less open to progress.

There are also good things happening every day: scientific breakthroughs, health improvements, community projects, environmental wins, animal rescues, acts of kindness, and people trying to solve real problems.

BrightNews is my attempt to give those stories more space.

I think us, as a society would be more focused on progress if we put our minds at ease from negativity.

The Android app and web app are already live, and I’m actively improving the app after user feedback.

Recently I added a “Not positive?” report option and started using AI-assisted review to reduce negative stories slipping through.

The funding would help me with:

- improving content filtering and review quality

- scaling the backend and infrastructure

- improving the UI and overall app experience

- expanding sources and country coverage

- supporting future iOS and web growth (licences, hosting...)

I’m building this alone in my free time, so even a small contribution helps.

If you like the idea, here is the Indiegogo campaign:

And if you don’t want to back it, simply trying the app, sharing feedback, or passing it to someone who might like the idea also helps a lot.

Hi everyone — I have launched a Kickstarter campaign for a project I’ve been building for a while, and I’d really appreciate honest feedback from people who understand crowdfunding.

The project started with a simple question:

What if a smart ring didn’t have to look like every other smart ring? And that it should bring unique value to customers rather than just simply being a gadget with a health dashboard

Most wearable rings today are closed, fixed designs. I wanted to explore the opposite direction: a ring that is not only a sensor, but also a personal object — something people can customize, print, remix, and eventually connect to an AI companion (also customizable). So we built what we believe may be one of the first 3D-printable smart ring ecosystems.

The idea has three layers:

A customizable ring body The ring is designed around 3D-printable / customizable outer shells, so the look can evolve like jewelry instead of staying as one fixed tech product. The goal is to make the ring feel more like a personal accessory than a health gadget.

A wearable AI companion The ring is not just for tracking data. It connects to an AI companion app that can remember context, understand daily patterns, and turn signals like sleep, stress, mood, and routines into more human, supportive suggestions.

A creator ecosystem Long term, we want designers and creators to be able to make new ring shells, styles, accessories, and AI-powered experiences around the ring. The bigger vision is a wearable AI ecosystem where hardware, software, and identity design come together.

I’d be grateful for any honest feedback, especially on how to explain the project without making it feel like generic AI hype.

Thank you.
