Renewal
Paper is good but I find it harder and harder to renew each year. It used to be so simple.
Be a better app
Let me get this straight. I open your app. I am *excited* to read your article, because I am a person who believes in journalism, democracy, and mild personal enrichment on my lunch break. And what do you do? You shove me into a WEB VIEW. A little browser-within-a-browser, like a Russian nesting doll of disappointment.
And *then* — THEN — this app has the audacity, the *temerity*, to pop up a message accusing ME of running an adblocker. Sir. Ma'am. Mysterious Silicon Valley Entity. I didn't bring an adblocker to this fight. YOU brought a web view to an app fight. That's like inviting someone to dinner at your house and then getting mad they can smell the neighbor's barbecue.
Here's a thought — and I want you to sit with this — you already made an APP. You had ONE JOB. Put the words in the app. I'm not asking for much. I'm not asking you to whittle the article into my phone by hand using a tiny app-shaped chisel. Just... native text. On the native screen. Of the native app.
Instead I'm out here getting IP-blocked by my own iPhone like I'm trying to sneak into a speakeasy that *also* happens to be an NPR article about crop subsidies.
One star. And that star is only because zero stars would just be a blank space, and I refuse to give you the satisfaction of a web view joke *twice*.
