    Not terribly surprised. When I tried the app out I didn’t really get the appeal. It was like adding a comments section to existing news feeds and didn’t provide enough tailoring or algorithmic understanding of reading habits to be a compelling offering.

    Besides the fact that they were using a chrome embedded browser, meaning I couldn’t even ad block on the sites I visited: which made the reading experience nearly impossible.

      I found it worked pretty well, seemed to understand my interests pretty well after a couple days, when I usually don’t feel that way, having tried many many similar apps. The chrome web view wasn’t ideal, but I use pihole which helped :)
