News from the biggest player of Runet (based on the amount of monthly unique visitors) is now available in an application for tablets on Windows. We did this project in 2012.

In this project we did:

Analytics

Development

A single app for all devices

Articles can be saved to favorites. After that, they will be available on any device.

Internet is off, the news is on

The app lets users downloading the news to read them later even when offline.

In order

The app is based on the modular principle of material composition. There are several types of modules in the application code and the appropriate one is used depending on the popularity of an article.

Read and comment

It’s easy to follow and join news discussions.

Hot news

News becomes outdated rapidly, replace each other, and become history. Live tile to the rescue: it actively scrolls to always show the latest articles.

Our task was not just to teach the app to structure articles into modules, but also to prioritize them. To make important news bigger and vice versa.
