News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

Here at Trigger we're all ravenous consumers of information. We really love some of the existing app solutions but we noticed a few drawbacks. The majority sacrificed timeliness for social relevance or depth. We often got our news later than friends who weren't using aggregators! We also found ourselves living in an increasingly small filter bubble because many of these apps were defining what we'd be interested in by what's popular in our social graph. Trigger is our first attempt at addressing these problems. We hand curate sources (to ensure quality inputs) and use a predictive algorithm to bring you news before it starts trending.

We've also got a kind of cool "extra-social" discovery feature OVERLOOKED that finds the most interesting things your social graph ISN'T reading.

We'd love if you'd check us out and let us know what you think over at itunes.apple.com/us/app/id968265755

There is a difference, with the structure of private subreddits, we felt there is rigidity and for Reddit it is for ONE group of users and topic.

Trigger is mobile-first platform, where we try to make the individual or multiple groups as fluid as you would do in a normal conversation, and everything organised by topics.
