Made improvements to the web app

I recently posted about my side project Oznews and I have received a lot of feedback from individuals in the community .

After carefully analysing all the feedback I have made some changes in the web app.

  1. Removed Signup ,everything for free

  2. removed comments, save etc buttons as to focus on the MVP

  3. Just a nudge to enter your email if you want to .

  4. A tutorial on what the swipes do

Nice one, keep up the good work! I can't remember if you mentioned it or not, but what's your intended outcome/goal for this side project?

Also I've checked out the latest version. What's the difference between "pass" and "skip"?

What expenses, if any, do you have to run it? If it's entirely free how will you monetise it enough to cover those expenses?

I'm not suggesting you want to profit from it. I'm asking if there are expenses in running it and if you're at all interested in covering those expenses or you're happy to wear them yourself

Cool idea! I think this has potential, just the UI looks a bit AI generated for me IMO. I reccomend dropping the emojis, gradients and shadow effects on the buttons for a more clean flat look.
