Hi all, I built this app for myself first, but thought other people might enjoy it. Thank you for any feedback and for testing!

1. What does it do? - It lets you browse hundreds of topics and thousands of high-quality writings and read them within the app - You can also add your own articles from the internet - You can post reading in feed, practice vocabulary, or curate your reading collections

2. But why is it needed when there is Substack, Goodreads, and millions of article readers? - I just didn't like any of these. Substack feels flooded by content optimized for clicks, newsletters, and even AI slop. I don't want to spend long time choosing what is actually worth to read in my favorite topics. - I love Goodreads, but it is mostly for books. - Other reader apps don't recommend me new articles.

3. Is it free? Is it only for iPhone? - Yes and yes. - It has web version too: topicsapp.net and it will have android version.

    Yeah, for now just apple. goodreads for short articles. YOu are getting recommended new ones or can add your own.

    I use it daily, and want to find out if other people would also find it useful. Wdyt?
