How it works
Most of the internet is designed to keep you scrolling. Infeather is designed to give you something worth thinking about and then get out of the way.
Every morning, it scans prediction markets, Wikipedia trending pages, research journals, Hacker News, Reddit, and dozens of RSS feeds. Instead of flooding you with everything, it uses AI to find the 5-7 pieces that are genuinely surprising. The kind of writing that changes how you see something.
The pipeline improves itself daily. It tests new sources, adjusts scoring, tracks what resonates, and keeps what works. The goal is simple: better links tomorrow than today.
The mythological figures, the surreal fortunes, the link titles that read like someone at a party is about to explain something fascinating. That's the point. Infeather is the cold plunge for your feed.
Bring something to dinner nobody else thought to look for.
