Lighthouse update March 9th

I’m quite happy because I found a framing for the product that fits much better with what I want to achieve with it.

It’s “keeping expertise current”.

The point of Lighthouse is not news reading, there are much better products for that purpose. It’s for finding high-value sources about specific professional topics, marketing or software engineering for example, subscribing to them, and then selecting the most valuable posts from them.

The key here is that the timing of these posts are much less important than news, which makes this use-case fundamentally different.

On the product side the last two weeks were dominated by under-the-hood improvements, specifically regarding full content extraction, bot protection, and website to feed conversion.
