Telegram needs a social layer!

Hello Product Hunters!!
For years I've been using Telegram as a news source. It's controllable, light-weight, Pixel-perfect and It's one of the rarest places to avoid controlled media and delve into Citizen Journalism.
But Telegram wasn't built for this. It was built as a chat app, which later one became a platform for bots, apps, coins and many other things. I personally enjoy Telegram, as I'm a big advocate for it and for its founder Pavel Durov@durov (not a big fan of his comics in app updates, but who am I to judge )!
Pain Points:
I always wanted a timeline feed experience, where I get served channel updates as a stream. This was the main and first goal of @Columbarium
And why the name?
1. I like how it sounds.
2. It's where channels are petrified and tuned into ashes of posts
3. The experience looks like a standing columbarium, you have access to multiple channel's posts at one time!
After reading all the above, I possibly will change the name :)
Please feel free to reach out on X @abumuailek and tweet me some feedback. Hate speech is welcome too.
App has lots of bugs obviously. And as soon as I get more stability and figure out more functionalities, I will make sure to launch a mobile app.
Cheers!

Rocab - The first local taxi booking app in Palestine

Rocab is the first local taxi booking app in Palestine now available nation-wide. What makes it special is that Rocab support the local digital transformation of taxi companies and their inclusion in the new tech era.

We are a newly invested Palestinian Startup with a community-centric platform providing top-notch solutions for the public transport sector, aiming to give a chance to local service providers to compete against market giants. While providing new revenue streams to our clients via services and sub services built on our platform.

Lately we've reached a milestone covering 6 major locations in Palestine ( Ramallah, Hebron, Bethlehem, Gaza, Rafah, Middle Camps) and expanding as we speak.

Founded by Ali Taha & Rasheed Abu-Eideh two years ago; our business model adopted a unique but challenging social mission, to conserve our local economy by providing the latest tech to ordinary taxi companies and other featured providers.
