Catch stories the moment they take off

Volume isn't the same as importance. Newsmill watches how stories spread across the web and surfaces the ones gaining real traction — so your feed leads with what's actually resonating, not just what was published most recently.

Pulse Score: one signal for momentum

Every story Newsmill collects gets a Pulse Score — a single, at-a-glance measure of how fast it's gaining attention relative to its source's normal pace. A story climbing far faster than usual rises to the top; the steady background noise stays out of your way.

That means you spot the breakout story while it's still breaking — not hours later when it's everywhere and the window to publish first has closed.

Engagement at a glance

Newsmill tracks how each story is performing in the wild — views, likes, comments, shares, reposts, and bookmarks — and shows the trend over time, right on the story card. You see not just how much engagement a story has, but whether it's accelerating or fading.

It's the context an editor needs to make a fast call: lead with this, hold that, skip the rest.

Rank your feed by what's working

Sort any feed by Pulse Score to put the fastest-rising stories first, and set momentum thresholds on your filters so only stories with real traction flow through to rewriting and publishing.

Your pipeline stops treating every story as equal and starts working like a newsroom — covering what your audience cares about, in the order it matters.
