Things That Changed on Nishitsu This Week
There were three changes this week.
We added writer names under article titles
Writer names used to appear at the bottom of articles, but now they appear directly under the title.
It might be the kind of change that makes you go, “Oh!”
We removed the social media share buttons under the image at the beginning of articles
We removed the social media share buttons that appeared under the image at the beginning of articles.
These ones ↓
A lot of people probably felt a little uneasy about them, like if you pressed one, it might instantly and automatically tweet something.
To be honest, from Nishitsu’s perspective too, it felt like nobody was really using them, so we removed them.(Sorry if you were using them a lot.)
That said, we’ve still left them near the bottom of articles. If you think, “This article seems worth sharing!” please feel free to use them.
We added a “Clap” feature at the end of articles
We added a feature called “Clap” at the end of articles.
If you liked an article, click “Clap” and the number will go up.
When that number goes up, the Nishitsu members are happy.
It looks like this ↓
It’s small and doesn’t stand out much, so we’re thinking of making it bigger and more noticeable around next week.
Tips We Received This Week
