This is my first formal note on Tikker News

This is my first formal note on Tikker News - the app we have built.

There are several reasons for building another news aggregator app. I will try and list out all the reasons in a series of very short notes. If you agree with some of the reasons, please download the app and use it regularly, and if you deem it useful enough, then ask your friends and relatives to download it too. There are only a few publications on it at the moment, but we will be adding more in due course of time. Be patient with us.

Note 1: With almost instant access to everything happening anywhere in the world, we are drowning in breaking news from everywhere. Unfortunately, this means we are missing out on news that is local and more relevant to us. Tikker News aims to be that single app that provides you access to local and vernacular news.

As a resident of Mysuru city, the news that the government is planning to take out 50+ acres of Ranganthittu Bird Sanctuary for a road widening project is more important to me than what is happening with the Epstein files. At least, I can try and do something about the former.

Is there a local/vernacular news publication you would like to see on Tikker? Let us know.

We are not looking for funding... yet. May never, if the publishers support us. The idea is to build something we all need in this world of convincing fake news, without the pressures of investors demanding hockey-stick growth detracting us from our goals.
