A few weeks ago, our site started a move towards the better by moving to an online provider for hosting. This has improved the user experience significantly as the site loads super fast, and the changes in the past few days, make it even faster than before with some intelligent caching behind the scenes.
However, you might have noticed the new "metro" style UI for the news pages. With a lot of effort, and tears and pain, we have painstakingly got you the Windows 8 news reader experience directly on any standards compliant browser. The best results would be in Chrome, Firefox and Safari. IE 10 might also work fine with this.
It is automatically optimized for tablets, and touch, very easy to read, and with a single click, you are taken to the new "reader" mode which gives you an iPad Flipbook like experience on any modern browser. This is an amazing way to actually read the news, and it also feels great swiping through the pages on a device like the ipad.
We will be moving the entire site to the metro like interface in stages, so that, we can provide you the best news reading experience online without the need to install anything anywhere.
Phase 2 will involve using AJAX and indexed DB, but right now, I just want to focus on improving the user experience significantly. If you are not an advanced user, we want you to have the best experience simply by browsing our site.
These changes are dedicated to the memory of Steve Jobs, who is, was and will always be a constant inspiration for us. More on Steve Jobs in another post..
