    This article has been imported from chorus.fm for discussion. All of the forum rules still apply.

    The Ringer has relaunched using Vox’s Chorus1 content management system and hosting:


    What you see today is, as before, a website—but hopefully one that is a more readable, more navigable, better organized, and more coherent experience. This site is a passion for everyone employed here, and its usability is paramount. We want to keep growing, and to keep pushing ourselves to write and produce stories that are unique, irreverent, unbound by the conventions of the web’s worst practices, but also be pragmatic about how to have the most fun covering sports, pop culture, technology, food, Game of Thrones, the NBA, and yes, even politics. We think this new site will help us do just that.
    ​

    It looks way better than the old one.

    Be kind; everyone is on their own journey.

    Phew, I was worried. Can't access any Medium stuff on my work PC, glad to see they're back up and running again.

    There's still too much NBA content, but that's just my opinion.

    I mainly visit for the NBA content. The Game of Thrones Binge Mode podcast is brilliant as well.

    is it the same for you? Prestigious

    i haven't had much time to play with the new site, but i used to have the "latest" section bookmarked (i mostly read through pocket and just used that as a quick way to add things that sound interesting) and i wasn't able to find a way to get it to show the same feed of all articles yet. anyone figure that out yet?

    This layout is definitely way better. The only thing I miss is the estimated time to read under the headline of each article. Helped me gauge whether I had to save it for my lunch break or not haha.
