I’ve made a bunch of changes over the last few weeks to improve the Political Wire experience.
A cleaner, faster design:
- A new theme built just for Political Wire will allow me to make modifications more quickly. Navigation is simpler and search now sits in the menu bar, one tap away.
- Pages should open more quickly, especially on phones and slower connections.
- There’s a new phone layout with a cleaner header and menu.
Read it your way:
- A new “Aa” button in the menu bar let’s you pick your theme and text size. Switch between light and dark mode, and choose small, medium or large text. Members’ settings are remembered separately for phone and computer, so large text on your phone doesn’t follow you to your laptop.
- Better previews when you share a post. Links to Political Wire on social media and in texts now show a proper image card: the poll chart for poll posts, a quote card for Quote of the Day, or a branded headline card.
- A new member profile module gives you easier access to your account at a glance.
Find more of what matters:
- A new “In Case You Missed It” panel partway down the front page brings back what I think are important stories that may have scrolled out of view.
- The Polling Dashboard now tracks key governor’s races as well as Senate races.
I hope these changes make reading Political Wire an even better experience!
If you have any other suggestions, just send them my way.
