#63Congratulations on the launch. Site looks nice and fast as well. Just some comments. 1. At the moment you are forced to login if you want to change site theme or font size. It would be nice if you could without logging in. I am fine it with the settings persisting as long as I don't clear the cookies. 2. Are there any plans to support prefers-color-scheme so you don't have to manually set the color to dark? 3. Also,…
Thank you! 1) Are you sure you cannot change the font and and site theme without logging in? I just tested it and it works fine for me in private and incognito modes. I purposely designed it so a lot of the settings are available via the quick action bar for non-logged in users. If you have no-script active or have disabled javascript, then the only option would be to login to change them via the Settings page. Other…
I can't reach settings page or anything similar either.
Whenever the cog is clicked browser goes to "/start" and a page with "Enter your email" is shown.
Clicking Cancel or Continue without filling email takes me to page before.

To track clicks without redirects and JavaScript use the 'ping' attribute: https://www.w3schools.com/tags/att_a_ping.asp
Didn’t know about that. Does not look like it has Safari or IE support

My intention behind content diversity is not based on political interests, but rather a desire to offer a greater level of exposure for lesser known content and blog sites. By "diversity" I mean that a developer who writes good articles on python whose blog only gets a few users a day will be treated the same as content from high traffic sites. Unlike other news services that either have political leanings or are beh…
The sun, daily mail, Fox News are “lesser known”? Not to mention tons of other stuff I’m too afraid to even checkout. Low quality and fake news is not diversity.
If you want to be filter bubbled, there are plenty of sites that cater to that right now.

The Settings page requires that you login, which only requires an email address.
The quick action bar on the search results page also has a smaller cog icon and other icons on it that will allow you to change several settings without logging in, but you must have javascript enabled to access them.

The index rate for each source automatically adapts based on the frequency of new content while maintaining a reasonable minimum frequency for sporadic sources.
The goal is to index content as quickly as possible without impacting each site's performance or causing automated defense systems to block the requests.
