## What is LightRead?

LightRead is a clean, friendly news app focused on what matters:
• Glanceable headlines with a tidy layout
• Hide sources you don’t want to see
• Open articles in a distraction‑free reader
• Smooth scrolling and fast loading
• Works great in light & dark mode

Why LightRead?
Clutter slows you down. LightRead keeps things clear: short labels, simple controls, and useful defaults. You’re in control—tap a source to hide it, and your feed instantly feels personal.
