This is what Quartz used to be, and I missed its chat-like elegant summaries ever since they changed to a traditional news app. Now I don't have to miss it! I've got Charlie. :)
Jim Morrison
@filmique Amazing. I had no idea Quartz used to be like us? Why did they change I wonder? 😬 ... what do they know that I don't?

@jimbomorrison They got acquired, and the new owners wanted to build an editorial team for a subscription model.

I tried downloading this in the Play store from India, but it says the app isn't available for India yet. Interesting product. :)
Jim Morrison
@vishal_kothari1 yes, sorry. We're a tiny UK-based team so we've focused on the markets we're familiar with to get Charlie ticking along happily. We'll be working to add new territories as soon as possible.

Soooo cool! B) It is beautiful to having Charlie in the sea of daily news that are just poisoning our thoughts... Big thanks and big congrats on creating Charlie! ^_^
Jim Morrison
@maria_brm thank you so much Maria. 🙌 We're so thrilled with the warmth and support from everyone for our mission and approach.
Maria
@jimbomorrison I am so happy to hear that! *__* Charlie definitely deserves it, and your great team as well! ^__^ And I wish you luck and success in further development as well! ^__^

This is cool. Where did you shoot this video?
Laura Linham
@andrew_berman Thanks! Did you spot Jim's making a cameo? 😁 We're a remote team now, but mostly based in the beautiful south west of England ;)
Joel Hansen

Matt Janaway
Amazing to see Charlie on PH @jimbomorrison I need to pick it back up and give it another go. Good luck with the launch, it seems like the community here love it!
Jim Morrison
@mjanaway Thanks Matt - and yes! we seem to have got the positioning much more on-point than with OneSub. Same data, same API, same mission.. different approach & different positioning. Onwards and upwards - this week has been such a blast! 🚀
