4-minute morning reel.
Six stories per day, surfaced at 6:00 local. Designed to fit a coffee, not consume one.

Four pillars.
Four pillars.
One idea: read, weigh in, repeat.
Khali is built around a single loop — a story arrives, you take a position, and the next reel adjusts. Every feature exists to make that loop fast, honest, and intellectually playful.
Pillar 01 · Swipe-to-vote
One claim. One thumb. No comment threads.
Every story becomes a single yes/no question. Swipe right to agree, left to disagree — the card carries a blue or russet glow as you commit, a YES or NO pill scales in across the 28% threshold, and the next card is already waiting underneath.
"The first feed where I notice I'm responding rather than scrolling past."

YES
Mars mining rights: a new treaty stalls in Geneva.
"Resources mined on Mars should belong to the company that extracts them."
Pillar 02 · Ask
A conversation built into every card.
See a claim you're not sure about? Pull at the thread. Khali turns the article into a chat — ask for context, history, opposing arguments, or "what does X actually say?" It answers in three lines, with the sources visible. You leave the card with a position you can defend.
"Quick insights, not bottomless rabbit holes."
What does the 1967 treaty actually say?
QUICK INSIGHT · 3 SOURCES
The Outer Space Treaty bars nations from claiming sovereignty over celestial bodies — but says nothing about private extraction. Most legal scholars read that silence as a loophole, not a prohibition.
Who's pushing the new draft?
Pillar 03 · Interest weights
The algorithm you can read.
Every Khali user has a transparent weight sheet — topics, sources, regions, sentiment. Drag any dial and the next reel reflects it within seconds. Hide the sports section forever. Boost coverage from a single outlet. Turn the room down on outrage and up on policy.
"Tune your interests to reshape the stream."

Pillar 04 · Claims & Debate
See what the room thinks.
After you vote, the claim opens up: how the wider Khali audience landed, broken out by region, age, and reading time. No comment box. No upvotes-on-upvotes. Just a single visible question and the shape of the disagreement.
"News as intellectual play, not performance."
Resources mined on Mars should belong to the company that extracts them.
