# Seeside

> Seeside is a news reader. It gathers headlines from public news feeds whose terms allow it, or say nothing against it, and links every report to its publisher. It hosts no other publisher's article text. Seeside Briefs are Seeside's own short explainers in Thai and English, each fact tied to named references, corrected in public.

For each report Seeside shows the publisher's headline, the publisher's name, the publication time the publisher gives and a link to the original; for some publishers it also shows the description from their own feed, cut to its opening (its first sentence, or about 200 characters of Thai) where the feed carries more, and for some the publisher's own photo, which the reader's browser loads from the publisher's server. To read or quote a report, use the original at the publisher. To cite a Brief, cite Seeside and the Brief's own references.

## News

- [Front page](https://seeside.app/): Seeside Briefs first, then the global edition's top reports, newest reports and sections, the Thailand edition's national news, and market prices.
- [Global edition](https://news.seeside.app/global): every report from the global edition's feeds, international publishers writing in English, grouped into stories and ranked by how fresh they are and how many publishers report them.
- [Thailand edition](https://news.seeside.app/th): every report from Thai publishers' own feeds, in Thai and in English, grouped and ranked the same way.
- [Topics](https://news.seeside.app/global/topics): World, Technology, Business and Science, each with its current reports. The [Thailand edition's topics](https://news.seeside.app/th/topics) are Thailand, Technology, Business and Science.
- Report pages, at `https://news.seeside.app/global/article/<id>` and `https://news.seeside.app/th/article/<id>`: one report's headline, publisher, time and a link to the original, while the report is in Seeside's feeds.
- [Sources and licenses](https://news.seeside.app/sources): every publisher Seeside reads, what it shows from each and the terms we read, plus the weather, air quality, time zone, price and Wikipedia data on the news pages.
- [How stories are ranked](https://news.seeside.app/ranking): the rules behind the order of the front page, with the numbers they use.

## Seeside Briefs

- Seeside's own writing: what happened, with numbered references; Seeside's view, set apart; and what remains unknown. The front page leads with the Briefs in the reader's language, and the [sitemap](https://seeside.app/sitemap.xml) lists every published Brief in Thai and English. A Brief's address serves its Thai version; the same address with `?lang=en` serves its English version.
- [Corrections](https://news.seeside.app/corrections): every correction to a Seeside Brief, newest first.

## For crawlers and agents

- [Sitemap](https://seeside.app/sitemap.xml): the main public pages and every published Seeside Brief.
- Seeside's server sends every reader the same order of reports. On the front page, the reader's own device may then reorder the sections and lift the publishers that reader reads, unless the reader turns this off; what it learns stays on that device. The interface is in English unless the reader chooses Thai; that choice changes the language of the interface and of the Briefs shown, not which reports appear. An edition is chosen by its address alone.

## Optional

- [Seeside](https://seeside.app/): the platform the news reader belongs to.
