Building Qowl — a text-first discovery app for books and papers worth reading. Product + ML

Crime fiction, Coffee and AoE2

I’ve been building Qowl, a text-first discovery app for books & papers worth reading.

The idea is simple: make longform discovery feel quieter, more intentional, and easier to return to.

Browse one recommendation at a time. Save what feels worth reading.

@BBCWorld (controversial take) I feel that the ruling party in India will be voted out unless they start addressing the graft issue. In India, we need these punishments to be proportional to the pilferage

PS: not condoning people being sentenced to death

@EducatedMoron Thanks for the reco, looks like a fun episode to watch

As a veteran footpath cleaner and organiser, I’m itching to join this Safe Footpaths Campaign. Besides ⁦@theuglyindian⁩, can we mobilise runners? Will be good cross training.

Picture from a school parents group that I mobilised to clean footpaths few years ago.

@Osint613 Why aren't there any women?

@AgentSaffron @narendramodi @AmitShah The government has to do a lot better when it comes to restoring cleanliness and walk ability

Poor condition of the footpath on Kanakapura Road near JSS circle. Many children and elders are having to talk on the main road which is very dangerous @chri

@themahavir My heartfelt condolences to you and your family. A similar thing happened with my partner, we rushed to the hospital, it thankfully turned out to be acidity.

The symptoms are remarkably close

@nishthavishtha Indeed, I kept reading it again and again wondering what's wrong with my comprehension

[Avinash Bengaluru @meavinash6262]

This Jayanagar 3rd Block #Bengaluru Ramakrishna Hospital 🏥 One can see a very big footpath but it is used for Ambulance 🚑 parking 🅿️.Hundreds of 2W parked shrinking the pedestrian 🚷space. Illogical car parking cutting pedestrian walkway.
@krishnabgowda FY Notice🙏Take action

[Rama Vishwanathan @r2v2x2]

@day6596 Such a thoughtful gesture!

Yesterday, my daughter, Kyra, passed away peacefully after a 9 month and 11 day fight against one of the cruelest diseases I’ve ever seen up close. She was diagnosed with Brain Cancer, specifically Glioblastoma. I have felt all of your concern and love for these months and wasn’t ready to be anymore specific than I was.
Kyra was a 28-year-old young woman who loved deeply and who is impossible to describe in 280 characters. While her life got stolen from her, she handled these months with courage, poise, and resolve. And all I want is for no family to feel what we feel today. For no young person to suffer the way she did.

In lieu of flowers, if you are moved to make a memorial gift, please consider “The Kyra Fund” (https://t.co/4bl8cxV1Dt)

This fund will be used solely to research treatments for Glioblastomas.

The footpath on the busy Sarakki Layout Road JP Nagar 1st Phase has been converted to a charging station. What should pedestrians do? @comm_blr_south @acpsouthtrf @osd_cmkarnataka @GBAChiefComm
