Hi everyone,

I created BrightNews, an Android app (iOS coming soon) and a web app for people who are tired of constantly negative news. The Android app is now live! 🚀

Lately I felt like most news apps and news sites were pushing the same cycle over and over again: wars, politics, crisis, outrage, and constant negativity.

That’s why I built BrightNews, an Android app and Web app that offers a different approach: positive, uplifting, and constructive news from around the world.

BrightNews is a news aggregator focused on stories about science, health, people, nature, innovation, and meaningful progress. Right now it covers the US, UK, Croatia, Slovenia, Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Germany, France, Japan, Australia, and Brazil.

The point is not to ignore reality, but to bring more balance back into daily life and make room for stories about progress, kindness, health, discovery, and good things happening in the world.

BrightNews is now live on Google Play:

I’m building this project independently, so if anyone wants not only to try the app but also support further development, scaling, and future growth, I also launched an Indiegogo campaign:

If this sounds like something you’d use, check it out, share it, and feel free to tell me what you think.

Hi everyone,

I built BrightNews as a hobby because I got tired of how most news feeds are dominated by war, political chaos, outrage, and constant negativity.

I wanted to create a calmer alternative: a positive-news app focused on uplifting, constructive stories from around the world.

BrightNews already exists as a working android and web app, but I’ve now launched an Indiegogo campaign because I need funding to take it further.

The main things the funding would help with are:

- improving content quality and filtering

- expanding source coverage across more countries

- scaling the backend and overall infrastructure

- improving the product experience

- supporting future web and iOS growth

The goal is not to ignore reality. The goal is to create a healthier way to stay informed and give more space to stories about science, health, communities, innovation, kindness, and progress.

If this resonates with you, here’s the campaign:

Hi everyone,

I recently launched BrightNews, an Android app (iOS coming soon) and web app for people who are tired of constantly negative news.

Lately I felt like most news apps and sites keep repeating the same cycle: wars, politics, crises, outrage, and constant negativity. Even if you want to stay informed, it can feel emotionally draining.

That’s why I built BrightNews - a simple news aggregator focused only on:

• positive and constructive stories
• science, health, communities, innovation
• meaningful progress from around the world

The goal isn’t to ignore reality, but to bring some balance back into daily news consumption.

The app is already live on Google Play, and I’ve launched an Indiegogo campaign to:

• further develop the app
• scale content coverage
• improve filtering and user experience

I’m building this independently, so this campaign is mainly about validating the idea and seeing if others feel the same need for a healthier news experience.

If this resonates with you, I’d really appreciate your feedback - even more than backing.

Do you think people are ready for a different kind of news experience?
