Site is working quite well today!

Excited to note that the site is working 10X faster today. Nice. Minor changes will be rolling out today evening as well.

Massive updates rolling out to site...

Please expect site outages for the next few days. We have to roll out this change, so this is unfortunate but necessary.
[Update] The update has been done successfully. You will notice the registration issue is resolved and the site runs much faster now.

Login system getting updated to improve speed

We are currently in the process of updating the site to improve login and registration performance. If this brings down the site, please bear with us. We needed to do this at some point because it is slow especially for a new user logging in for the first time.

[Update] Please note you may need to clear your browser data or kill the iOS app and reopen it, if the app stops working. This is because we are updating the javascript and other files.

[Update] The update is a success. You should see significant improvement in the login and even the regular page load times.

New sites added to our news sources list

Our readers will be happy to know that we have added more news sources to our list, this should dramatically increase the number of new news articles we show. Enjoy!

All issues resolved as of now

In addition to this, we are also running a migration job behind the scenes which will further improve site performance and stability.

Everything is up and running as of right now.

Atleast one more issue still present in site

Under the hood enhancements pushed out to site

Issues definitely fixed in tonight's update

Tonight we will push out a site update which will definitively fix the issue where the site shows you old news when you login. There are multiple bugs which are causing the behavior. The team will work in the evening to fix this and deploy the update tonight.

Why the site has been down intermittently..

We are trying to optimize the cache for better economics of scale, also trying to fix the problem where you keep seeing read articles when you first start reading news.

Site updates finished..

Some major site updates have been done which should significantly improve the performance and the stability of the site. I can already see it is much faster than before and things work a better.

More changes will come but major changes are done for now.

Site being updated...

Please expect some downtime, we are debugging some issues and fixing them starting a few hours from now.
