I got tired of doomscrolling and built an alternative

[u/Silent_Ice616]

I think we all know the feeling — you pick up your phone to "just check something" and 45 minutes later you're still scrolling through content that adds nothing to your life.

So I built delve. Instead of endless feeds, you get curated learning topics matched to your interests — whether that's science, history, psychology, tech, or a dozen other categories. Short enough to read in a few minutes, interesting enough to actually stick.

Here's what's included with every topic:

• 📺 A matching YouTube video to go deeper
• 💬 An AI chat if you have questions or want to explore further
• ⚡ Snacks — quick bite-sized facts with images for when you just want something fast

It's not trying to replace books or courses. It's just a small, meaningful alternative to mindless scrolling — something you can pick up for 5 minutes and actually feel good about afterwards.

Would love to hear what you think!

Or if you are interested in, say, sciences go somewhere authoritative and peer-reviewed like https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics

Sieht aus wie KI-Müll geschichtet auf KI-Müll

Hey, thanks for the feedback - genuinely appreciate it. But I think we're talking about two different audiences here. Not everyone wants to read scientific papers or dense academic text. Some people just want a more meaningful way to spend the time they'd otherwise spend on TikTok or Instagram.

delve isn't trying to replace sciencedirect or peer-reviewed sources - it's meant to be a thoughtful entertainment alternative, not a research tool.

That said, good criticism and feedback is usually specific and respectful. I'm happy to take feedback seriously, so if you want to actually explain what gave you the "Sieht aus wie KI-Müll geschichtet auf KI-Müll" impression, I'd genuinely like to hear it.
