Things That Changed on Nishi2 This Week
There are two things this week.
We Brought Back the SNS Share Links Between the Featured Image and the Article
Previously, we removed the SNS share links between the featured image and the article because we assumed they weren’t being clicked much.
This time, we added SNS share counts, so we brought them back.
This↓

From the left: Twitter, Facebook, Hatena Bookmark, LINE, and Pocket.
The number doesn’t show for LINE, but it should now show for the others.
If you see an article you like, please share it.
We Couldn’t Change the Icon for the “Applaud” Feature at the End of Articles (Excuse, Week 6)
Continuing from five weeks ago, it’s this.
This was added to the end of articles five weeks ago↓

This icon.
We said we’d make it bigger, but we’ve left it alone for six whole weeks now.
“This week, well…” We don’t really have an excuse. Yep.
The total number of applauses this week is 77. Last week was 75, so it’s almost unchanged!
Thank you for all the applause! We’re starting to think we probably won’t make it bigger after all!
Tips We Received This Week
Thank you again for sending in so many tips this week!!
For the weekly tips section, we’re thinking of creating a separate article section and updating it once a month!
