From Our Desks: Avoiding Election Doomscrolling
A weekly tell-all from the people behind Indie Hackers. This week, we talk election doomscrolling, new AI releases, and rival newsletter platforms.
Welcome to From Our Desks, where the people behind Indie Hackers share the stories behind the headlines. This week, we talk election doomscrolling, new AI releases, and rival newsletter platforms.
@ChanningAllen (Channing Allen, co-founder and editor-in-chief): I'm glad to say I didn't have much time this week to doomscroll through all the US election drama because I was so busy working with the Indie Hackers newsroom and working on product strategy. Granted, I did enjoy reading this piece from our very own Stephen Flanders on what Trump's victory might mean for tech regulation over the next four years.

Co-developed by some journos in my circle. Happy to intro if you need.
Pretty cool! But we wouldn't be Indie Hackers if we hadn't already rolled our own internal AI tooling for these various journalistic functions.
We've got AI tools for newsgathering, generating news angles (from source material), and writing first drafts. But we don't use that last function (draft writing). I suspect the quality bar for paid content in 2024 is just too high to involve LLMs in the actual writing process.
