Reasons To Be Cheerful offers a similar periodical: https://reasonstobecheerful.world/

(I have no idea why the web site calls it a "self help magazine"; it's just a collection of interesting positive news.)


Another one that was pointed out on HN last week: https://www.newsminimalist.com/

Not strictly "good news" but tries to be significant news without clickbait.


Thanks for the callout! (I'm the founder)

I already have the "positivity" scores for each article, so I'll add a separate "positive and significant news" page in the coming weeks.


Cool indeed. Traditional media is so desperate with click bait and riddled with ads. And social media of course.


This is great. Thanks for sharing!
