Show HN: An endless feed with history, science, tech., business

Right now it's a Nicotine patch for brain rot/doom scrolling. You still get the scroll, but with more meaningful content.
WHERE I WANT IT TO GO: Users mark what they are interested in (e.g. AI, or Space or Whatever), and it should crawl the latest scientific articles, high quality YouTube videos, pods, present it in a format that fits you, in a nice feed.
NOW: You can search for anything (e.g. "Sea Explorers" --> The app crawls Wikipedia or YouTube and pulls together a short feed (e.g. Columbus, Vasco da Gama etc.,). I'm using RAG so that I always can reference the original data source (feel that is key)
Regardless of source, I'm pulling images from Wikipedia. Right now, this is the biggest struggle, as the quality and number of images per article is limited --> my articles doesn't come out as nice.
Would really appreciate some feedback, especially if you tend to browse Wikipedia a lot
Ok, I tried to read something, also on mobile. It's not really possible to scroll one screen at a time, which makes reading anything really hard.
Seeing only one item at a time(on Mobile) is deal breaker for me. I don't know what other stuff is in the feed, and there is no way to easily know without scrolling through a bunch of stuff I probably don't care about.
The images don't really add much for me. I look at the title to decide if this is something I want to read about.
Maybe there is a way to turn off this one thing at a time, but I didn't stick around to find it.
Good luck, it's looking polished and works nicely
