ABOUT IDAHOLENS

IdahoLens started as an experiment: how far could I take an idea with AI as the tool?

I didn’t set out to build a website about Idaho. I wanted to use AI, have some fun with it, and see whether a project that once would have felt daunting could become something enjoyable to build. One experiment led to another — and somewhere along the way, that experiment became IdahoLens.

About this IdahoLens view

The Idaho news view brings together headlines from publishers serving multiple regions of the state and places them beside the weather, road, event and public-data context already available in IdahoLens.

IdahoLens does not replace the reporting outlet. Headlines and links remain attributed to their originating publishers, and availability depends on the public feeds and pages those publishers make accessible. Open the source article for the full reporting, updates, corrections and publisher context.

The statewide news filter is useful when a story crosses regional boundaries or when you want a broader Idaho picture than a single city can provide. For a more local scan, select a city and switch back to the local news filter in the same app.
