My User Experience

I can easily concentrate on reading, because the layout is very clean and clear, and every page provides limited amount of information.

There are many channels and topics that I can choose, including RSS and magazines that I needed to pay to read before.

I can search key words to find all the relevant information about a specific topic.

My User Experience

Smart customization might lead to a narrower range of knowledge, which is especially bad for journalists who need to know as much news as possible.

The qualities of news are not at the same level, some from well-known news media, some from small news websites. But readers can directly subscribe to those reliable news media, and use RSS to obtain a general understanding of what happened.

Have a great time with ZAKER!
