Can you go into any detail around how you curate the Portuguese content? The icon has both the Brazilian and Portuguese flag. One thing I've had difficulty with is that there's just enough differences between the two that mixing them can be confusing while learning. Lack of European Portuguese is why I basically dropped Duolingo and settled on just reading books/listening to music. The dialects are super similar to those who already know the language, but when even basic nouns differ it can get hard! Just downloaded the app and it's awesome. Thanks for making it!

Glad you like it so far, and that's valuable feedback regarding Portuguese as it's not a language I'm personally studying. I'm leveraging RSS feeds from popular papers in the languages I'm supporting with some weights applied so no single source is overly dominate in the feed. That said, I need to add more Portuguese and French sources, which is something I'm planning to take on this weekend. Right now the only paper from Portugal I've included is Correio da Manhã. If you have a favorite paper, let me know and I'll look to add it. In terms of control, you can filter by country of origin. Please let me know if you think that is sufficient to address your concerns or if there is more I should be doing to separate the European and Brazilian Portuguese.
