About Huduku
ಹುಡುಕು means search. Huduku is the inverse of a feed: a daily edition of headlines from Indian newspapers, in English and Kannada, that ends.
How the edition works
- Headlines come from the publishers' own public RSS feeds. Huduku shows the headline, the outlet and the time, and links to the original article. It never shows article text, summaries, images or logos, and never frames the publisher's page.
- Today's edition covers the last 24 hours, sorted into a handful of sections, with a few headlines per outlet so no single newspaper crowds the page. Past editions follow the Indian calendar day.
- Pages show the news plainly first: a headline, its outlet, its time and how many outlets carried the story. How Huduku knows the rest (who owns each outlet, when the reports appeared, where a label came from, coverage counts) is folded behind a Details button, called Compare coverage on a story. The Display menu's Details switch opens it on every page, in this browser only.
- Every outlet on the public edition was chosen by hand. The list is on the outlets page.
- No tracking, analytics or advertising. Headlines you've opened fade because your own browser remembers visiting them; nothing is stored about you.
The workbench
Behind the edition is a private research workbench: a wider set of sources, dossiers you save and annotate in your own voice, and a small circle of readers who send each other curated bundles. It's invite-only for now.
