What's New in theSkimm
3.2.0
December 4, 2024
This new version includes calendar functionality upgrades providing integrations with additional email clients.
I’ve been reading theSkimm as one of my go-to news outlets. No news is completely opinion free, but I appreciate that everything is shortened, and to the point. Providing links to recourses they use, and having more in-depth explanations for certain topics that are coming up more often. Out of all the news outlets I’ve used before, theSkimm has definitely become my favorite.
