Edit: took out the term "progressive". Stinky made a good point.

1. Is it possible to edit what organizations are fed to you?

Some of those hardly fit my definition of "progressive."

2. I am not sure... I just downloaded the app to my desktop.

Edit: I know what you mean, though. I was using their description. :hi:

3. It doesn't look like the sources can be edited. Too bad, but it still looks like a pretty...

handy news feed. I think I'm going to keep this one for awhile.

5. This app sucks

I can't find the "themes" page. All I get is my own twitter feed. Nothing special.

6. Works okay on my desktop.

Not so much on my phone.
