Edition one  ·  A news app from Growth X

A headline is not the same as knowing.

SudoNews does not stop at delivery. Home holds a column of real outlets. Flash is the story once it starts moving. Sudo is there when you need to ask the piece in front of you what it actually means.

Scroll — the plates come into register

The problem, plainly

One story. Everyone meets it differently.

A headline lands on a great many people at the same instant and then nothing else happens. Everyone has seen it. Almost nobody has done anything with it — which is not a failure of attention. It is what happens when a product is built to deliver stories and then stops.

SudoNews is built on the opposite assumption. Delivery is the beginning of the job.

Figures after Isotype (Neurath & Arntz). This is a description of what the product lets a reader do, not a measurement. The three ranks are deliberately equal and carry no claim about how many people do any of it.

Figure 1 — the parts of a story

A story is not one thing. It is six.

A headline alone is three of these at best. SudoNews keeps all six attached to the piece — which is the only reason the last two are possible at all.

  1. 01 The headline What most products deliver, and where most stop.
  2. 02 The outlet Who filed it. Kept on the card, not buried in a byline.
  3. 03 The hour When. A story two days old is a different story.
  4. 04 The body The piece itself, still credited to its source.
  5. 05 Why it matters A short structured read on the significance — printed under the story, not instead of it.
  6. 06 The question Yours. A chat opened from a story keeps that story's context until you change it.

The column, held still.

Real outlets, in the language you read in. The source and the timestamp stay on the story, because who filed it and when is part of what the story means.

02  ·  Flash

The story, once it starts moving.

Fifteen to ninety seconds, vertical, News and Creators in the same place. Watch it standing up, then put it back in your pocket.

News Flashes play on the publisher's own embedded player. Nothing is scraped, re-hosted, or stripped of who made it.

03  ·  Sudo

Ask the story in front of you.

Not a blank chat window. Sudo opens on the piece you were reading and keeps that context — so the question is about this story, and the answer stays tied to it.

What Sudo is not

Not whole-web search. Not legal or medical advice. Not a human editor. It can be wrong — verify anything that matters against the original article and outlets you trust.

The mark is Newsreader at 720 pt; the article is printed inside its counter. Beside it, the Sudo screen as it ships.

SudoNews does not point a scraper at the open web. The feed is assembled from a hand-checked editorial registry — which is slow to build, and the reason the app reads like a newsroom rather than an aggregator.

The wire is drawn on a canvas and needs JavaScript. In short: SudoNews works from a hand-checked editorial registry rather than a scraper pointed at the open web.
