The app learns from articles you read in it, and will push you new articles it thinks you'll find interesting, basically "TikTok for news". Occasionally it has pushed interesting articles to me I wouldn't have found otherwise.
It works okay, but it's annoying having to read everything in their app WebView instead of my preferred browser (and no easy way to switch), you lose all the browser controls. It's also annoying that when you want to share a link, they redirect it with their own URL, but I guess they have to do that to get more data.

I am apparently entirely too nerdy for this. Not a single interesting article. It’s like Reddit but without the occasional worthwhile, or relevant to my interests, article showing up. I have a lot more luck on mastodon these days.
Tried it but didn't stick to it. Moved away. What I realized was the source itself is the problem. Most articles these days are terrible and not interesting. So apps like Artifact etc can't really do much.
Just tried it, and love it. Great design and concept.
Also, wasn’t there supposed to be a social component? Where’d that end up?
