Hi! Really appreciate you putting this together, was cool to read about your thought process. 

I am building Adjacent News and appreciated your feedback!

I don't know how valuable this is - it seems like an improvement but I can't stop myself from thinking that people should just install a twitter feed blocker extension, or an extension that redirects them from X to manifold automatically, or something. (I suspect people should read less news, and I was bullish on "getting the news via prediction markets" until I "got the news" about Roe v Wade via a prediction market and wasted a couple hours on something that made me unhappy and I could do nothing about)

I found this initial comment pretty interesting. We are building the chrome extension to provide additional context to the news you read. It looks like this

It features a pretty subtle market inline with context to what you read. Here is another example

This also works for newspaper sites like NYT, Semafor, etc. (really any site that you might find it useful to add context to).

Another of our last-minute cuts. Interesting ideas, but I'm unclear from the post how far advanced they are/what the primary product is; though I feel slightly guilty not supporting this, since I can imagine using their API in future

Thanks! I would say decently far along we currently have 

In early October we will be publishing our own news content when odds significantly move within a 15min period.

Thanks again for the feedback! If you ever would like to chat you can email at lucas@adjacentresearch.xyz or message me on telegram at t.me/lucaskohorst.
