Thanks for the feedback!
I'll definitely review each one and think if/how can I implement them.
There's definitely some tradeoffs on every decision but I'm on the phase where I'm iterating looking for the best UI/UX.

Yeah, long-term I also would look at building a viewport into the local-first Fediverse, which seems to look like an email client. https://gemini.google.com/app/5bf267d0285b01a1
And promote sharing through it.

OK. One final idea would be to have a single river-of-items in a readability presentation of full articles. No summaries, just scroll down or jump through each item. Best of luck with it, thanks.

the way you do information density btw is say "include all unique insights, facts, figures, data points, predictions, timelines, and otherwise important information with 100% fidelity"

Yep, then from that I would have an options panel to toggle only the things you want to see.
The other thing I would do on AIbriefs is have spacebar shift the card-list viewport right to the top and hide the top-most card.
This way reading the site entails loading the page and hitting spacebar after each card is read. This can already be done with Hackerbrain user-script while reading top-comments for any HN item - spacebar or clicking an item's green badge.

Thanks, this is useful. I'm working rn on a toggle to have a dense view.

Yeah, I would move the top bar to the side as that is valuable real-estate for the news and I would also make the shifts instantaneous.
See here: https://tinkeri.ng (use enter key)
- note the layout-switcher top right
About full articles - this could be a toggle switch. Perhaps have an options panel somewhere. Allow for hiding of much of the content. Have a 'bare-bones' preset.
Have a vertical scrollbar
Add rss
Masonry grid (or offer layout selector) https://share.gemini.google/gAvGtSnQ9i8b
Auto-updates so people can just leave it open in a tab and check without refresh effort
Provide bare-bones brutalist theme option, keeping only vital information
Alternate name: l.A.t.I.v / LaTiV - Vital backwards
Just my tips
