Thanks for the thorough feedback! We will look into the Chrome issue immediately. We all use Chrome as our preferred browser, so I'm a bit shocked that it completely choked. I suspect one of the add ons, but you are right, it should absolutely fail elegantly. The multiple index photos pointing to the same stories was an editorial decision, as they wanted a location to show off all of their favorite imagery from the issue, even if some of the links were duplicative. This is similar to a magazine's ToC, where they will occasionally have multiple items referencing the same page number, however point taken that this creates an annoying experience if you accidentally hop to the same story multiple times. Perhaps we'll explore some sort of visual indicator for already visited stories. Side by side pages forming a spread is a tricky issue. We wanted to allow our editors the freedom to create magazine-like layouts with text interacting with other elements such as images, videos, and lists, but building layouts which conform to the dimensions of all devices is difficult. In print, designers only have to deal with one canvas size when laying out their spreads. On the web, text will wrap in different places and you need to dynamically resize elements so that text is readable and images are suitably sized. This results in inconsistent page breaks, which makes side by side viewing difficult to achieve cleanly. Some products have attempted to achieve this affect on the web, but we ultimately thought the tradeoffs necessary to implement those techniques were not worth it and that we would have a richer product with entirely vertical layouts. There is an additional UX consideration there as well, but I'm droning on. I agree on the slideshows lacking the gravitas of the cover. We have already begun product planning to improve that feature. Thanks again!
