"If Using APIs and consolidate things from other websites is high-tech then there are bunch of high-tech Nepali websites." would u consider google.com a high tech...it just consolidates things from other websites,

I would consider it's Algorithm to crawl, search and index sites and intelligence to filter keywords is high-tech. Last edited: 21-Jul-10 09:40 PM

No body mentioned Sajha ;) There was one I would say HiTech however lots of things are changed there. Now it looks like Classified site-  www.nepalisociety.com. It used to have crawler that retrieves news from few nepali news source and some international sources too. It also used to crawl  stock news and analyze the stock report ( display graphs, list of stocks that has increased for last 2/3 days ) sends text to the provided number if certain percentage of ups/downs in any stock market was choosen etc. But the guy ( admin) removed the crawler ( no more news ) and locked the stock anlyzer (password protected) for his personal use. He had blogs, classifieds, profile page for users etc which are still there. The coolest part of the page was stock analyzer which is unfortunately not available for users now.

Hey thanks all of you for sharing high tech sites. By high tech I meant websites that implement cool technology. Nice set of sites. I liked sodne.com, nepalupclose.com and nepalisociety.com. In terms of technology, I think sajha is also pretty up there. Keep adding more.

I did not find one impressive thing about Sodne.com. like seriously, the design is horrible! what is nice about it? I also don't get it how does it matter how much work he put in. What I code in 10 hours, someone else can do that in an hour. And I completely agree with nepalkochoro, reinventing the wheel is just stupid. I would have been impressed if he developed something that current cms couldn't do. This is good though to learn but to even consider it a good site? oh well!

I guess  http://dukunepal.com/ is  also good contender!!

what you guys think about papatoto.com

WeReNe · Jul 23, 2010 12:24 PM

In the subject of CMS tools, I don't find those particularly high tech because any ten year old who can follow direction can make those.

Just saw papatoto.com it's an ok site but the rate of advertising there is unbelievable. USD 3500 per month???

I got two emails regarding this thread so I thought I'd respond. First of all in no way am I claiming that sodne.com is high tech :)  I'm not a software guy - I'm a one man shop and code as a hobby in the evenings.  My other sites related to Nepal are harilo.com (beta), lukeko.com, and palopalo.org (alpha) - I use Rails + postgresql if anyone wanted to know. Regarding Lalitpur on the site - it's not an error - the site is "hyperlocal" and based on GPS coordinates - so you can search for stuff around you (versus by city).  I use google to geocode (i.e. convert addresses into latitude and longitude) and turns out google gives a higher preference to India than Nepal when you geocode "Lalitpur".  Try this: http://maps.google.com -> Lalitpur.  It's unfair but you can enter "Lalitpur, Nepal" when posting on sodne.com to get the correct coordinates. As far as not reinventing the wheel and using a CMS, I think it's kind of like buying a tract home versus getting a home custom built.  Those who can (have money, time, or skills) will code their site and those who can't... can't.  I wanted something hyperlocal, especially for Kathmandu which doesn't have street addresses you can look up (which is also the premise behind milnu.com and lukeko.com).  That way you can see that someone at is selling their couch which for Kathmandu is a lot more useful than seeing that someone in Ward 5, Patan is selling their couch.  Or you can go to lukeko.com and download recommended restaurants in Kathmandu to a Nokia phone (or iPhone, Android device) - you can then ask very interesting questions with a GPS enabled phone like "what are the top rated japanese restaurants within a half mile of my location".  Stay hungry, stay foolish...

how about nepalimate.com Last edited: 27-Jul-10 02:31 PM

timroanumati · Jul 27, 2010 2:31 PM

nepalimate.com is just a CMS with almost no custom work done. I would appreciate if the admin had added more self made features to it. everything is prebuilt and can be found online to purchase for around $250 and the template is bought too....

nepalkochoro2008 · Aug 1, 2010 11:44 PM

this is the best site by far
