Maker of Discors (you may have read about us: https://techcrunch.com/2017/03/0...) here! I'm excited to show the community here what we've been working on.
We think it's really important to stay well-informed, but reading the most respected publications can be difficult; the best sources are paywalled or metered, and readers want to explore multiple sources which can cause subscription costs to really add up. We were able to bring together news and analysis from some of these publications (incl. NYT, Financial Times, Washington Post, The Economist, Foreign Policy, and some more). Our editorial team selects the best pieces every day to help you better understand what's happening in the world - no ads, no linking out, no in-app-browsers!
Subscribing through the app (Android or iOS) gets you a free week, and its $4.99/mo after that. We would love your feedback and invite you to try Discors! I'll be here off and on today to answer any questions. Thanks!
@getbrandflakes great question. the biggest difference between us and Apple News (or any other aggregator out there) is that we're providing access to content that would otherwise only be available via a subscription to the New York Times, the Financial Times, the Economist, etc.
If you see it on Discors, you can read it on Discors. No running into meters, paywalls, and ads when you click a link.
We can do this because we pay our partners a license fee to republish their pieces in their entirety within Discors. We then make that content available to our subscribers within the app. We do also have sources - like the Financial Times - which are currently not available at all on Apple News.
@basil_enan I see a lot of value here but really wish there was more content. I'm hoping you guys are working on that.
Willing to pay $5 a month to find out.
@getbrandflakes thanks Brandon. we're definitely just getting started. lots more content partnerships coming soon. the more subscribers like you we have, the more content we can bring into the app.
