Fantastic App

This app is fantastic. Focus on what you want to read and filter the noise and low quality content.

Social Media with the Addiction

Beautiful and easy way to keep up with News and Reddit without the infinite scroll doom loop.

A nice reader and video viewer is also built in. Honestly it dramatically improved my relationship with media and that feedback loop of rage bait and commentary.
