Innovative Design - Quirky Features
I love the design for this app, so I’m giving some feedback in the hopes it makes the app more useful. The Apple Intelligence summaries, which could be useful, are far too slow on my Macbook, so I would like to disable those or have them in a separate section in the article that can lazy load when they're ready. The default "popup" view when I click a story from the news wall also opens the story in a very small popup that doesn't make good use of my Mac screen real estate. Is there a way to have this popup be full screen? The application does use a lot of RAM on my machine (more than 1 GB by itself and sometimes more than my Arc browser), so any reduction there would be an improvement. Note to the developer that their email also doesn’t work and an email I sent with this feedback bounced.

Response from developer
Thanks a lot for the thoughtful feedback. This is genuinely helpful. I’m already working on changes for the next update: an option to choose whether AI summaries open by default, a better reading layout that uses more of the Mac screen, and some memory profiling to reduce RAM usage where possible. Also, sorry about the bounced email. That should not happen, and I’m fixing the support address too.
