How Currant News Works
I built this because we're drowning in news. Currant is the life raft.
It's a dashboard that sorts the news into four categories so you can stay informed without losing the plot:
- Urgent
- Monitoring
- Noise
- Distraction
Categories:
🔴 Urgent
A bill is being voted on. A court ruling. A confirmation hearing. These are the rare moments where calling your rep or showing up somewhere isn't performative, it's the actual job. I link you straight to the tools. Go.
🔵 Monitoring
Real, developing, not yet ripe. Pending cases. Proposals mid-debate. Hearings on the calendar. I'm watching it. Set an alert if it's yours to track.
âš« Noise
Technically news, but not much you can do with it. A senator said something rude on a podcast. Two governors are beefing. It's good to be aware, but it's not actionable.
🟫 Distraction
Scandal! Outrage cycle! Amygdala hijacking! I show them to you so you can see the trick being played. Then I gently suggest you go drink a glass of water, hang out with a friend, touch grass, etc.
