Customizable Notifications
Control over push notifications is crucial. Users should be able to filter alerts by topic and set quiet times to minimize distractions and protect mental space. This feature helps create a boundary between constant connectivity and personal time.
Offline Reading
Downloading articles for offline reading allows users to engage with news content on their own terms, free from the pressures of real-time updates and constant connectivity. This encourages a more relaxed and focused reading experience.
Content Prioritization
Allowing users to prioritize certain types of news (e.g., local events, lifestyle articles) can help them focus on information that is personally relevant and beneficial, reducing exposure to potentially distressing global news.
