Ice Fishing: practise headline wording on 36 fictional event briefs
Ice Fishing is an offline app for practising news-style headline writing. It bundles 36 invented event briefs that show how wording shifts emphasis, with no link to current news.
The Briefs page lists the collection and searches titles or words from the event facts. Open a brief to read its full account, then reveal three example headlines from the same facts.
Each example carries a note on which part of the brief its wording brings forward. The notes describe emphasis choices, not truth judgments.
On Compose you pick a brief and one of three focuses, then write your headline with a live preview. Saved headlines can be reopened, edited, or deleted after confirmation.
Compare reveals a brief's three examples and lets you tap words to mark where your attention falls. Your draft or a saved headline can join that view.
Briefs and saved headlines stay on the device, with no accounts and no network requests. Ice Fishing keeps your saved work separate from the bundled examples.
