OHLO — Daily Dispatch

Overview

OHLO is a personal project I'm designing and building — a daily curiosity app built around a simple idea: one dispatch a day, not a feed. Every morning, users get a single curated fact, sourced and dated, with a short line explaining why it's worth caring about.

Why I'm building it

Most "discovery" apps optimize for endless scroll. OHLO does the opposite: it picks one thing — sourced, dated, and genuinely interesting — and stops there. The goal is to give people the small daily hit of curiosity they get from a good feed, without the infinite-scroll cost.

How it works

• Curiosity radar — a short onboarding quiz builds a curiosity profile that personalizes which facts get selected for each user.
• One dispatch, daily — a single fact per day, each with a "why you'd care" line connecting it back to something relatable.
• Sourced, always — every dispatch carries a visible source and date, so the content is checkable, not just plausible.
• Bilingual — the app and site support both English and Chinese.

What I work on

• Content pipeline — using LLMs to source, verify, and phrase daily dispatches so they stay accurate, interesting, and consistent in tone.
• Mobile app — building the client in React Native / Expo, targeting Android first (APK available now) with iOS in progress.
• Personalization — turning quiz answers into a curiosity profile that shapes daily picks.

Early and solo — Android is live, iOS is on the way. This is very much a work in progress.
