Nice work on the page and on shipping! What surprises me the most from this is how fast USA Today is given the amount of stuff going on on their page.
I like how you've put the ranking by speed and I think that's a really good way to advertise your service. That being said, $9.99/mo seems pretty steep for what is basically a really fast aggregator of other sources. The $1/mo to Wikimedia is good but really just a small amount going to the creators of the actual content. $25/mo for the NYT does give you a slow website, but you know they're funding investigative journalism with it.
Edit: My mistake, it's $9.99/y, not /mo. That is way more reasonable
- O__________O 4y agoWebsite says $9.99 a year, which would be 83-cents a month, not $9.99 month as you mention. Source: https://legiblenews.com/plus https://legiblenews.com/plus
- strongpigeon 4y agoOh my bad. Yeah that's much more reasonable!
- yuters 4y agoI was also surprised to see USA Today so high on the list. About 10 years ago they did a complete redesign that felt like a SPA and although it was pretty cool at the time, I remember it being very slow and clunky. They've really turned it around!
- remremz 4y agoThey got a new team together. The main architect is very detail obsessed about page performance.
- chrisfrantz 4y agoThought the same thing, then clicked over. There’s quite a bit going on for how snappy it feels.
