Summary: In order to separate the wheat from the chaff we've been working on simple, modular tools that process news and help curate the Web, basically removing the noise to squeeze out the signal

THE concept behind Free Software emanates from many programmers' desire to not only produce useful software but also to share this usefulness with many other people, either in exchange for recognition or further improvements to that software.

Lately we've developed a number of programs (Free Software of course, GPLV3-licensed) that help produce/curate Daily Links. Some time later this month or next month we'll properly explain what they are and how they work. Other people too deserve access to the toolsets. ⬆
