The challenge
What if the news could find you?
Information is spread across media, town halls, public bodies, businesses and neighbours. Snurkel brings it together in one place and each person decides what to receive, where and when.
The sources
Thousands of sources, a wall for every person
Snurkel reads thousands of sources and shows each person only what happens in their areas and what interests them. Nobody gets the same feed.

In everyone’s own language
The app adapts to each person’s language: the same wall for everyone, in their own language.
