filqosor.com Update: You spoke, I listened. New Divided Coverage features, Data Transparency, and a note on Source Bias

Hey everyone,

I am posting an update following the feedback received on my original post. I have spent the last two weeks implementing several changes based on the discussions in that thread.

1. The Divided Coverage Section & Bias Filtering: One of the biggest requests was a way to see where the "friction" is. I’ve added a Divided Coverage page that specifically pulls stories where Maltese media outlets are framing things differently (Medium to High divide). You can now also filter the All Stories page by bias level.
2. Data Transparency: If we’re going to be impartial, we have to be transparent. There is a new Data Transparency page covering the following:
   • Source Distribution: Which outlets the system is pulling from the most.
   • Friction Heatmap: A daily record of how divided the local news landscape has been.
   • Topic Analysis: Identification of which categories currently have the highest levels of conflicting narratives.
3. Removal of Talk.mt as a Source:
   • In the last couple of weeks, the system flagged that content from Talk.mt was very similar (almost an exact replica) to that of ONE News. This resulted in the AI approving articles with identical framing, which was skewing the data. For now, Talk.mt are no longer being collected to ensure that the impartiality of the engine remains intact.
4. UX & Technical Polish:
   • Better Legibility: Switched to a cleaner font for article titles to make it easier to read on mobile.
   • PWA Ready: You can now "Add to Home Screen" on iOS/Android, and it’ll act like a native app with a proper icon and name.
   • SEO & Indexing: Improved how Google finds our summaries so you can find impartial results faster via search.

So… what’s next?

The next phase is making the news more accessible. I’m working on:

• Automated Socials: I’ll be pushing the published articles within the website to Facebook, Instagram, X, etc, so you can follow updates directly in your social feed.
• Daily Email Digest: Eventually, I will also commit to building the no-fluff morning email for those who don’t want to check the site or socials manually.

• Instagram
• X / Twitter

I’m still looking for feedback: Is the AI capturing the nuance correctly? Is there a feature you feel is missing? Is the mobile experience smooth?

Thanks again for being the best community a dev could ask forand feel free to spread the word. Keep the feedback coming!
