Nice job! This is great. Exactly what I've been looking for.

Have you thought about blurring the background in the modal? I find that for news sites, the modal still lets me read the headlines

Thank you!!! I've been trying to figure out a way to obscure the background without hiding it entirely (which would make the popup feel a bit too obstructive) and blurring the background is the perfect solution.

Expect to see this in an update soon!
