Briefly60 reads the day's newspapers and returns each story in exactly sixty words. No preamble, no padding, no burying the fact you came for. A clickbait score sits beside every headline, so you know whether the framing is doing work the reporting cannot. Read it, hear it, or take it on Telegram.

Bangladeshi news is abundant and exhausting. Briefly60 reads the popular newspapers so you don't have to, and returns each story in exactly sixty words, with a clickbait score attached, because knowing a headline is bait is half the information. Python jobs on GitHub Actions cron scrape and summarise on a schedule, and the result goes out over the web, over audio, and over Telegram.
