Newsdrop - Sell Project

About Newsdrop

Quick news summaries

We built Newsdrop for people who are busy and don’t have either time or patience for regular news sites. The idea is simple: ensure all news fit in about 200 words, and make sure it’s super easy to read. And how did we do it? Well, it’s a mix of interface design and human effort. All news is shown as snippets that expand with a tap, so opening the article is completely optional. We aim to front-load the snippets with as much information as possible, to make it easy to skim through the feed. The second part involves effort by real editors - we manually select, source, and summarize the most relevant news, without the use of algorithms or auto generators. The editors also pick out interesting stories and videos to provide something interesting for when you do have the time. The third and newest significant feature of our app are audio news. Thanks to Azure Cloud’s Voice AI, our news can be listened to. Our backend automatically generates an audio format of each article. All in all, we figure it’s a good way to stay in the loop in just a few minutes a day. It’s really undemanding, and you always know when the new batch of news will arrive - it happens four times a day, on a predictable schedule.

Reason for selling

We have developed a news summary app that was published in December 2020 but we have been forced to put it aside due to another project we are currently working on, an interface design tool that would compete with other similar tools, such as Figma. This project demands a lot of our time and resources, especially given the level of quality we are looking to achieve. For this reason, we have decided to find a buyer willing to take over the project and make it their own.
