- Worth noticing
- Each story displays a plain-language score and can be filtered by state, suburb, topic, time, or folded subject.
Field notes
The feed combines outlet-labelled story cards with timestamps, locations, section filters, and a displayed distance-from-plain-language score. Its local controls accept a suburb or postcode, while subject folding is described as browser-only and reversible. A separate Daily Brief ranks stories by the number of outlets reporting them, giving the product both a reading mode and a small comparison layer.
