One of the best parts of Kagi is the ability to customize lenses and rank or exclude specific sources. Why can’t I do this in Kite News? I want to be able to build my own categories and my own sources. I want to downrank and uprank my own sources. I really like the app UI and the idea is sound, but this is just another news app that doesn’t respect the user interests and expects everyone to be the same.
Thank you for your thoughtful feedback, mr_uzick! We really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience, it helps us shape the direction of Kagi News.Right now, the app is still in its beta phase, and many features are focused on providing a solid foundation. As you noted, it’s currently more of a read-only experience, but we’re actively working on expanding functionality. Very soon, we’ll be introducing user preference syncing across devices with Kagi accounts.Your suggestions around customizable categories, source ranking, and filtering are excellent. We’ll definitely be taking them into account as we continue development. Thanks again for helping us make Kagi News better!
