Handy when you hit a paywall: it flags the article and surfaces credible, free alternative coverage on the same topic. Detection is fast, results are relevant, and the roadmap for publisher partnerships is promising. As long as it sticks to legal alternatives, it’s a keeper.

Flicknews provides a legitimate alternative and near spot on recreation of the news article you'd like to read but are prevented. This could pivot news publishers to a pay by article model - which could bring new revenue from the public - from many who'd never pay for a monthly subscription but would pay for several articles.
