Push, newsletters and social
Self-hosted web push to lakhs of readers, newsletters and auto-posting through the platforms' official APIs.

Questions
Does it work on shared hosting?
Yes: PHP 8.1+ and MySQL 5.7+ or MariaDB 10.3+, one cron line, no Composer. Large push audiences are faster on a VPS.
Can I move from WordPress?
Yes: upload the WordPress export file; every old address redirects (301) to its new story, so search traffic stays.
Is AI needed?
No. Trending, related stories, tag suggestions and the best push time work without AI.
Is the demo content real news?
No. Every story, person and number in the demo is made up and marked DEMO.
What does the product help with legally?
It helps with the IT Rules 2021 grievance duties, corrections and the DPDP Act requests; it is not legal advice or a certification.
