I wish they put more effort into Kagi news. Feels very barebones but has a lot of potential.

What do you feel is missing for a free news offering?

I don’t personally like it all that much, because it feels like it’s missing the depth I like in well-written reporting, but for those who just want a quick overview of topics once a day, it seems to work pretty well, no?

    • Kagi dev here, sorry about the bug; we had a malformed nested HTML comment that ended up partially rendering. This is now fixed.

    • Okay, strange, but that’s a bug, not a web app “feeling barebones” wrt. core functionality for most users, at least IMO.

      Has that been reported on kagifeedback.org yet?
