NewsButton
Nepal's headlines, one button away.
NewsButton is a clean reader that gathers the latest headlines from 107 of Nepal's news sources across news, business, tech, English, health and literature (Onlinekhabar, Setopati, Ratopati, BBC Nepali, The Kathmandu Post and more) in one scroll, taken from the headlines each outlet publishes publicly for others to reuse. Skim everything in one place, then read any story where it belongs: on the publisher's own site. It carries a Nepali patro too, with the day's festivals and holidays, exchange and bullion rates, and today's date on your home screen. Nepal's main share-market portals are listed as well, along with other sites that publish no feed. NewsButton links to those rather than aggregating them.
What's inside
A Nepali patro
The Bikram Sambat calendar with the day’s tithi, the festivals and public holidays, and how long until the next day off. Exchange rates from Nepal Rastra Bank and the gold and silver rate sit alongside it.
Today’s date, outside the app
Keep the Nepali date in your notification shade and on your home screen, with the day as a numeral in the status bar. Both read the calendar inside the app, so neither fetches anything.
Top stories
What several sources are covering right now, at the top of each tab. Tap one to read every outlet’s own version side by side.
Follow a subject
Each tab groups the day’s headlines by what they are about, across every outlet filing them, using the publishers’ own labels.
Read it in either language
Outlets publishing in both Nepali and English carry an EN/NE switch, so you can swap edition without leaving the page.
Two ways to read
A digest that gives every source its own section, or one newest-first timeline merging them all.
