skipthe.com surfaces hyperlocal news that actually matters — government announcements, development decisions, public-safety incidents, school updates, business changes, and events — and skips the ads, navigation links, and noise that clutter most local sources.
How it works
Every 30 minutes, an automated pipeline pulls the latest items from a curated list of public hyperlocal sources (county sites, school district pages, local media, public records, federated social channels). Each item is reviewed by an AI moderator that decides whether it's relevant, what category it belongs to, and how trustworthy the source is. Survivors land on this site.
The site is regenerated from scratch every cycle. We never republish full article bodies — every item links straight back to the original source.
The AI disclaimer
Moderation is fully automated. There is no human reviewing each item before it's published. The model is conservative by design — it errs on the side of leaving things out — but it will sometimes include something it shouldn't, or miss something it should have surfaced.
Items labeled unverified come from sources we can't fully vouch for (community posts, secondhand reports). Treat them accordingly.
If something looks wrong, please let us know. We aim to respond within 48 hours.
Cost and money
The site is free to read and free to share. There are no ads. Running it costs a small amount per month (a server and AI tokens). If donations cover that, great; if not, we'll figure it out. Either way, the price stays at zero.
