Skewy & the news

Every source. One feed.
You own the algorithm.

All the news, the social hype and the prediction markets in one place, without the toxic sites. You start neutral, then make it yours.

The problem

Your feed owns you.
You should own it.

Every feed is tuned for someone else's revenue. The dials are hidden, rage keeps you scrolling, and the news you actually want breaks on platforms you would rather not visit.

Why our news

One story.
Every side of it.

If you only read the broadsheets you never see what X is doing with the same story. If you only read X you get nothing else. Skewy puts them side by side: the wires, the social hype, the prediction markets, the local voices — and shows you how far apart they are.

the same story, measured across every channel
Day one

You start
on vanilla.

No sign-up quiz, no taste test. We take the channels that matter — X, BBC, Reuters, Reddit, YouTube, Yahoo, plus whatever is big in your country — and show the single biggest thing happening on each. Neutral by construction: popularity and recency, nothing else. From there, every tap makes it yours.

the neutral starting point: the number one story per channel
The core idea

Then you take
the dials.

A dial for every source. Save as many algorithms as you like and switch by mood: everything balanced on the commute, cats and food at night, full rage on a Friday. It lives on your device and it is the reason nobody leaves — your taste is here, and rebuilding it somewhere else is the cost of going.

Training

Teach it in
three taps.

Nobody wants to fill in a settings screen. So the tuner deals cards: one story at a time, more of this, less of this, or neither — and the dials move behind the scenes. Two minutes of this and the feed is unmistakably yours.

Your own controls

Say it. We build
the control.

Type what you want in plain words and the app decides what that is. "No royals" becomes a switch. "Less politics" becomes a slider. "Stop me after fifteen minutes" becomes a timer. Anything stranger stays a rule, applied as written.

Trust

It can tell you
to stop.

Give your algorithm fifteen minutes and it counts down in the header, then closes the feed: "Your algorithm says stop. That was the deal you made with yourself."

A feed that switches itself off works against our own business model. That is exactly why it earns the trust everything else here depends on.

Flavours · how it looks

Same news.
Different clothes.

Skins re-theme the whole app in one tap. Zen is calm and white. Ink is full dark. Tabloid shouts in red-top caps. Terminal is green on black for the people who want that. Cosmetic on top, the same recipe underneath.

Taking part

Don't just read it.
Have a view.

Every story asks you one question, and answering is a single anonymous tap — that is the whole effort. Vote first and the room opens up: how the country split, who agrees with you, what they are saying. The result is the reward, so we never show it before you commit.

The reward

Taking part
pays you back.

Reading burns fuel; answering fills the tank. Fuel is not a score to admire, it is the currency that buys more: more reading, more channels switched on, more of the app opened up. Streaks and shares pay more again.

Onboarding by earning

We ship fast.
You unlock it.

New features arrive constantly, but they do not all arrive at once. Channels, the map, the radio, duels, custom controls: each one opens as you earn it. It paces the onboarding so nobody drowns on day one, and it gives every returning user something new to reach for.

Why our news

Is any of
this real?

Pulling from social means pulling from where things get made up. So every story carries a Skewy rating — how real it appears, and why: the figure matches the published release, or it rests on a single anonymous source, or it contradicts the official data. A genuine problem, answered in the place people actually meet it.
