What it is: A real-time feed of local news and deals, geo-targeted to wherever you are. Pulls from local news sites, government pages, retailer circulars, and public business pages.
What it isn't: A newspaper. A content mill. A platform for hot takes. Junction doesn't host articles — it links out to the originals. It doesn't editorialize — it summarizes neutrally.
How it's built: Open-source AI agents running on commodity servers. The same architecture that runs in your pilot town will run anywhere in the US with minimal changes.
How it grows: Reader-driven. When enough people from a new town ask for coverage, the system drafts a source list for that town and notifies the operator. Expansion happens where there's real demand.
Privacy: Junction reads your browser location or IP to show local content. That's it. No cross-site tracking, no advertising IDs, no data sales. Clear your browser data and Junction forgets you.
