Open reading. Optional accounts for progress.The publishing system
From a source to a published story.
A daily workflow handles selection, drafting, checks, and publication. Each change is recorded. Image failures have a fallback, so an optional service does not hold up an article.
- 01
Select sources
Choose a story from approved sources and background topics.
- 02
Draft the article
Create the explanation, facts, quiz, and supporting artwork.
- 03
Check the result
Separate publication-blocking errors from advisory findings.
- 04
Publish
Record the change and update the website and feeds automatically.
Content checks
Ten areas of automated checks.
Required checks can stop publication. Advisory findings stay in the publishing record. Content publishes automatically when the blocking checks pass.
Required
Article structure
Checks article format before publication. Required failures stop the article from publishing.
01 / 10 check areas
These checks enforce structure and defined rules. They do not independently verify facts or require a person to approve every article.
The reading experience
An article, its context, and a quiz.
Short explanations, named sources, and questions that move from recall to reasoning. Topics and related explainers give readers a way to go deeper.
Facts, context, and sources.
Each article brings together five facts, a key number, context, and sources. Reading and quizzes are open to everyone; signing in saves progress and results.

What this project demanded
Product design and daily publishing.
I build and maintain the reading interface, accounts, content checks, and publishing workflow. Running the site means deciding which checks should stop publication, which findings need follow-up, and how publishing continues when image generation fails.
