No one has seen it? No comment till now? No one likes it?

Hi Raja,

Not sure if it is just me. I opened the website and there is nothing to click. Do I need to “Like” before I can do anything?
Raja June 16, 2013, 6:15 pm

Hahaha… no.. just search in the search box(it is not box exactly…)

you can read Wikipedia articles here..

Let me give you a direct link to read Steve page https://karkka.com/en/k/Steve_Jobs

Ok, got it. But one question : Why do we need a reader for Wikipedia?
Raja June 16, 2013, 6:26 pm

I have never enjoyed reading articles in wikipedia. It has to meet several factors like edit, reference, language links and so on. Ultimate aim of this project is to give reading pleasure on reading wikipedia article.

I may be a bit old school, but I’d prefer reading wikipedia as it is. Just gives me the “known” feel to the site. Coming to your website, the look and feel is good. When I read there, i have the urge to think if any content is missed out of wikipedia. My 2 cents.

Valid point. Will take it. But not sure how to address that issue.

Have you ever used the ‘Clearly’ tool from Evernote? That should serve the purpose.

I appreciate your effort. All I can suggest you is that – make your efforts more valuable by taking some inspiration from ‘Clearly’ and make some additions….

Clearly is all about mineralization.. clutter free.. but Karkka is not like that.. it is like reading an article in your desk.. along with photos related to that next to you..

Images are movable and it is giving more playful..

And more things are in progress.. You are going to see the quotes in more beautiful way.

Thanks for your time to browse Karkka and giving valuable feedback..

Guys, please though your comments.. all comments are most welcome.. 🙂
