This might be more useful than cnn.com. ✔ Faster to load ✔ No ads ✔ Easy to scan

@rrhoover By the way npr has a similar Lite version: http://thin.npr.org/. What I really hate about the news sites is the auto-playing videos - perhaps a news aggregator can be built that would crawl, extract and display news snippet in text-only format!

@rrhoover old school WAP look

Seriously ? I'm all for speedy but not to take the visual experience back to web 99. Throw some basic font love on this and make it enjoyable.

@dnlbtlr I think this is designed for edge cases where even loading a font may cause problems. Think using a pay as you go phone with a crappy web browser in the middle of nowhere.

@treggify it's for people with super slow data connections because of the storm.

@treggify sure but blue underlined links ?!

@treggify @dnlbtlr Does that really matter? It's completely and totally functional.

I wish every publisher would do this

Is this an official CNN product?

@melkonyanrob I believe it is, mostly because of the URL.

Any chance we can get some additional color options that are easier on the eyes?

Pros:

Great lo-fi solution

Cons:

Needs a dark mode

It's like WAP pages back in the day - super lightweight and limited styling.

This is something similar to Twitter Lite that will save data consumption on your mobile.

Pros:

It is lite and low bandwidth. Easier to read content on the go

Cons:

No images/media
