Thank you for your persistence and pushback. Despite good intentions I fell into the boilerplate trap. In the meantime I: . removed the 'mark of shame' :) . zeroed the cookies, only localstorage for umami analytics . Simple opt-o

Very good point. I'm using Next.js link components but handling the dual target behavior with JS click handlers, which does indeed break native browser behavior. You're right that this should be: - Proper <a href> for the

Really like this approach, one unified weekly digest across all segments. You're right that separate emails would just get ignored. Planning to make RSS first and then newsletter. Appreciate you taking the time to share specifics: help

Haha appreciate the support! It's not about being tired of US tech it's about making sure European innovation gets, at least, equal airtime :D Coverage gap is real, just my two cents to balance things out

Good point. You can currently search for topics (search bar), but I see what you mean, dedicated topic filters/tags would be even more intuitive than having to type. Interesting idea about using AI to auto-tag articles with topics. Wha

Valid question. Let me clarify: NO ADS: Zero advertising. No ad network scripts. TRACKING: Only privacy-respecting essentials: . Sliplane (European hosting) server logs . No Google Analytics, no third-party trackers What made you think ther

RSS feed is on the roadmap. Planning to implement: - Per-language RSS feeds (/en/news/feed.xml etc.) - Manually curated (articles are already human-selected from sources) Newsletter is an interesting idea too. Im thinking

True and good catch on the German text. Fair point, AI image generation struggles with non-English text rendering. This is a known issue I've been wrestling with. Options I'm considering: 1. Text-free abstract patterns for non-E

Thank you for your suggestion, i will certainly look into it, thanks!

Interesting perspective. Can you elaborate? Like: You'd prefer no images at all (text-only)? Or the AI-generated style doesn't work for you? Or something else? I added them because plain text feels bare, but I'm curious what

Thanks for testing! The whole card IS clickable actually, it has two click targets: Click anywhere on the card and it goes to the summary article page on europedigital.cloud (with translations, context, etc.) Click the "source" li

Thanks for flagging! Checking now - site loads fine for me but might be regional/SSL issue. Can you try again? Also checking server capacity. For others having issues, direct link: https://europedigital.cloud/en/ne
