Sola Soul (ID: 0000004362a03469) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 07/16/2022 Great App, I'd love for it to start somewhere in the middle of the page and still retain the gnome functions.

gnik droy (ID: 00000007bc1c36a6) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 06/05/2022 The layout can use some help. There is no need to mention "The Washington Post" and the date at the top, especially the date, since it is implied. If you think that hinders your brand, just make it a the title margin smaller. Currently it takes up to 25% of all space on a laptop screen. The cards itself need some breathing space. Just some minor padding between the cards and left and right margin will make the layout much more legible. Alternatively, if you want to keep the current layout, at least fix the max number of cards per row to 3-4 Additionally, the option to use a dark theme would be appreciated.

Don Nitkin (ID: 0000002653028c92) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 09/11/2021 The layout is excellent. I can read entire articles of just the first paragraph. I wish the journalist ould comment on the comments.
