| You might need an explainer or github link for people as it's not really clear what this is or what it's trying to demonstrate. All I can see (Firefox/Android) is a map - there's a headline in the UK from the BBC and some in France one from Le Monde. |

| ▲ | mkoh 2 days ago | parent [-] | | Thanks! Totally valid. Being bilingual, I always found it interesting to see how the same news story is covered across different countries, e.g., how the U.S. covers the Iran war vs. how Korean news outlets cover it. I built this to generalize that feeling of "Oh that's a perspective I don't hear about here" e.g. https://www.newsmaps.io/?q=iran |

| Interesting idea, but you need to improve readability. Try black text on pastel backgrounds. |

| A valiant effort but not quite legible. What's color doing, here? |

| ▲ | mkoh 2 days ago | parent [-] | | Mean pooled embeddings of headlines projected onto Oklab color space so that semantically similar articles are similar in color. Small deltas in shade seem to map to pretty big semantic deltas, however, because the color space is so limited. Point taken on the legibility! Thanks for the feedback, I have some work to do |
