LIVE DISCOVERY

Feed radar

Recent signals from configured primary feeds. These are candidates only: they are linked, scored, and held for review before any Garbamons article is published.

Review required
Checking trusted feeds for new signals...

HOW IT WORKS

A publication with three lanes

Automation discovers and enriches candidates. Editorial rules protect quality and rights. Community submissions can join the same system later, with moderation and attribution built in.

Feed + research

Trusted RSS, APIs, datasets, and primary sources become reviewable candidates.

Manual editorial

Original Garbamons summaries, explainers, guides, data stories, and embeds.

Community later

User-submitted articles are planned for a moderated, source-aware workflow.
