I created HitByWords this year, an iOS app which helps people explore news with Google Trends.
This is totally a passion project since I got a day job and only can spend my spare time building it. Due to serious time and budget constrains, I am only able to develop this app piece by piece. Though I am very enjoy the process :)
The motivation to build this app is I read news everyday but sometimes I cannot relate some reports. But I feel if a report is published by a credible news source, the event or accident is supposed to be crucial for some people in the world and I should feel sympathy. Like today an astronaut phones wrong number from space and I found people in London, Birmingham and Manchester have high interest in "Tim Peake" through Google Trends, which makes me feel this is a real thing.
I still have a lot of ideas to implement and try to make this app a better tool to explore news.
Hope my explanation is clear enough since English is not my first language.
