Circa news project closed
The Circa app and website have closed, news project co-founder Matt Galligen said. Both the app and the website have not been updated for the last three days.
In his farewell post, Galligen thanked everyone who worked on the project, which he called his "favorite thing." The co-founder of the project expressed regret that the team failed to monetize Circa by turning the app and website into a business product.
Gratitude from readers, competition from the industry, and approval from our investors, advisors, friends, and families kept us going when others thought we were finished. (English.)
- The Circa project was launched in 2012. The team has released apps for iOS and Android. The purpose of applications is to inform readers about important events as quickly and as simply as possible. Readers could subscribe to certain stories and receive notifications about updates to them. News has been presented as separate blocks to make it easier (and faster) to collect.
- In early 2015, the Circa team launched the site , probably in the hope of expanding its audience. The creators admitted that the audience of the project is modest, but did not give exact numbers.
- The project has raised $5.7 million plus private investment, according to Wired.
