01 / Why nobal
News should have a clear first step
You should not need to become a news expert before you can become informed.
Access and feed control is a critical boundary.
Traditional homepages assume you already know what matters, which sources to trust, and where to begin. nobal starts somewhere simpler: with your curiosity.
Pick a topic. Then move outward across places, publishers, formats, and related ideas without losing sight of where each perspective came from.
From “I do not follow the news” to “I know where I want to look next”, nobal is built for the novice news reader, the societally active individual and the geopolitical expert. Grow with us.

04 / Core Principles
Core Principles
Feed Autonomy
Every major platform decides what you see, by rules you can't inspect, for goals that aren't yours. Here you build the algorithm yourself, topic by topic. In this way, curation stops being something done to you.
Information for All
More journalism exists, from more places, than any generation could reach - yet most readers still get the world secondhand. The core of nobal.news is free, because informed judgment shouldn't depend on what you can afford.
Private beta
Your way into the world can start with one topic.
