This app is wonderful, it was great to find out that, yes there really is an RSS reader for PlayDate. My only request is that the main body text be slightly 'chunkier' as the single-pixel font can be quite challenging to read in anything other than bright sunlight.

Look forward to seeing the full release!

thanks for the feedback! Do you think using the same font as the title would work? Or is it too chunk?

The font used in PocketReader (also on Itch) works well. It’s chunkier without being overtly bold or semi bold, which is how I understand the titles in PlayNews to be. I like the way you currently have it where the titles are a different font-weight to the body text.

Looked at PocketReader and they seem to be using Sasser-Slab which is the same font I use on the title (but the article title is always bold). This is how it'd look as the article content font. I could add an option to select the font if that would be useful.

That looks great to me, thanks for considering this.
