It has been a long and fulfilling journey to build Skimic. We were able to build a full feature website, extension, bookmarklet, and mobile apps. Moreover, we learned a lot and did our best to bring you the best product(s) we could make.
However, the news market is not at all what we thought of it initially. What we found quickly led us to the realisation that our monetisation plan wouldn't work since most media outlets are not willing to strike deals with companies like ours. We spent the last 3 months trying to fix it but we could not find a solution that we were willing to try (we will never do ads).
Because of this we decided to close. It has been a hard decision to make. But we are sure it's the best one for now.
We wanted to thank all of you, for the support, suggestions, and critics. If you want to reach us with question or comments feel free to do so through one of our social account listed below.
Having said this, we are already working on our next project and we will be in touch with all of you as soon as we can :)
Thanks,
