Reading
How the story pages behave when you open one.
Default mode
what an article opens as
Text size
applies across all articles
Language
interface + article mix
English interface · both Telugu and English outlets shown
Framing bar
the party split drawn under cards and at the top of an article
Hiding the bar hides a drawing, never a measurement. Every story is still measured, and the full analysis is still on the article page.
Print paper
which sheet the print views are laid out for
Nothing reflows between the two — they are separate templates, so the margins match the paper rather than approximating it.
Beats & saved
What follows you around the site.
Your beats
3 or more keeps the home page full; fewer still works, with editors' picks filling the gap
0 selected · pick 3 more
Saved constituency
gets a permanent home-page block, and sets your helpline district
None set — your home page shows the invitation instead of a local block.
Saved searches
on this device only — they are not an account feature
None yet. Run a search and press Save this search — filters and sort included.
Alerts
Rate limits, quiet hours, per-channel switches. Corrections and replies are never rate-limited. Everything else is.
In-app inbox
never held, never capped — it interrupts nobody
Every alert your rules produce lands here, including the ones a cap or a quiet hour stopped from reaching a device.
Push
max 3/day · quiet 22:00–06:30 Asia/Kolkata
Push is not switched on yet — it needs a browser permission and a stored consent. This rule will still appear in your inbox.
A push suppressed inside quiet hours is dropped, not queued — nothing arrives in a burst at 06:30 either.
Email digest
the Sunday Ledger · weekly · Monday 06:00 Asia/Kolkata · max 5 emails/week
Email is not switched on yet — this product has no mail provider (V_1 17 Stage C). This rule will still appear in your inbox.
When it ships, pause 30 days and one-click unsubscribe are in the email footer, not buried here — and there is no tracking pixel and no redirect in any of it.
Threshold rules
one sentence each, testable against the last 30 days
Rules live in the intelligence console and need an account with access. They are not a reader-side setting yet, so this page links rather than pretending to own them.
Accessibility
All settings here also apply to embeds and shared links.
Colour-safe mode
grey ramp + hatch alternatives on every chart
Every chart already carries four things at once — colour, position, pattern and the numbers in words. This drops the colour carrier for readers who would rather not rely on it.
Reduced motion
follow system · currently: checking
There is no setting here that turns motion back on against your system’s wishes. This can only tighten it.
Line height
extra generous (dyslexia-friendly)
Screen-reader captions
every framing bar reads as its party numbers
Data & privacy
What we keep, where it is kept, and who else handles it.

preferences in your browser's storage
Type size, theme, reading mode, region, beats, saved searches and how far you scrolled in each article are kept in this browser. If you choose a constituency while signed in, it is also saved to your account so it follows you to other devices. The full list of keys and cookies is on the cookies page.

Signed out, we keep no account rows. Page views, searches and submissions are counted under a salted hash instead — see the privacy page.
Companies that handle it
the vendors this site runs on

- Supabase (unverified — set by the project dashboard) — the account-linked records listed below, keyed by your account id
- PostHog (United States) — page views and clicks under a pseudonymous id — never your email or name — and only after you accept analytics
- PostHog (error reports) (United States) — nothing about you: when a scheduled background job fails on our server, the error's type, a shortened message with quoted text removed, the job step and a run id
- Google AdSense (United States) — cookies and device identifiers for ad serving; ads are non-personalised unless you accept ads
- Google Gemini API (United States) — published news text, and the text of reader submissions you send us, for analysis
- Fly.io (Singapore (sin)) — request logs (IP address, user agent, URL) as the site's host
- Amazon Web Services (India (ap-south-1)) — the same request logs, shipped to a bucket in India and retained there
Reader-level data in our reports
there is none, and the mechanism to produce it does not exist
Clients receive aggregates. There are no identified readers, no inferred-leaning lists and no reader-detail view that could be exported — the absence of that view is the guarantee. See methodology.

your account rows and this browser's storage, as one JSON file
Signed in, the file includes the account rows listed above, fetched from our server for your account only. Signed out, it includes this browser’s storage and says the account part was not included.
Clear everything on this device
everything this site put in this browser's storage — immediate, and it cannot be undone
This clears this browser’s storage only. Cookies are not cleared (they are listed on the cookies page), and neither are your account rows on our server — deleting your account (below) removes those.
