Marcel@coolcut The Financial Times! Look at you! :D What made it become homescreen material?
@marcel Haha. Couple of reasons:
1. I want something on the homescreen I can check/read which is not Mastodon or something social.
2. Readwise or similar apps don't work for me on the iPhone homescreen. I only use them on the iPad.
3. I am exploring a bit to see if I prefer FT over my current subscription, ZEIT. I received a small FT subscription as a gift from a friend for a couple of months and am trying to fully test it out.

@coolcut I'm intrigued. My guess would be that their reporting is a lot less doom and gloom than ZEIT's?
@marcel Yes, I would agree with your guess after ~ 2 weeks in. For me, so far, it generally has better mapping in terms of the topics I'm currently most interested in, which are more economic and globally driven.
But I think you need some kind of a PhD to understand their plans and pricing structure. It's so confusing. 😅
