What we’re hearing about the new homepage

关于新版首页,我们听到了这些反馈

We’ve been reading your feedback on the new homepage. All of it. The kind and encouraging comments, the brutal ones, the “actually this rules,” the “please undo this immediately,” the bug reports, the feature ideas, and yes, the eternal request for dark mode. We appreciate it.

我们一直在阅读大家对新版首页的反馈。每一条都看了。无论是友善鼓励的评论,还是尖锐的批评;无论是“其实这很棒”,还是“请立刻撤回”;无论是漏洞报告、功能建议,当然,还有那个永恒的“深色模式”请求。我们非常感激。

A lot of you took the time to share detailed, thoughtful reactions right after launch, and that kind of feedback is useful. It helps us understand where the experience is landing or missing the mark, spot issues and friction, and ultimately sort that feedback into a few buckets. We want to be open and transparent with you about how we’re looking at those buckets of feedback.

在网站上线后,许多读者花时间分享了详尽且深思熟虑的反馈,这些反馈非常有价值。它帮助我们了解哪些体验做得好,哪些还有欠缺,从而发现问题和阻碍,并最终将这些反馈归类。我们希望向大家公开透明地展示我们是如何处理这些反馈类别的。

Bucket 1: Yes, we should fix that.

第一类:是的,我们应该修复它。

Some feedback points to things we should clearly fix or smooth out, like bugs and rough edges. Feedback that falls into this bucket:

  • The scrollbar presence on the feed (✅ Fixed)
  • Adding “Read More” from the groups of stories when there’s something to link to (✅ Fixed)
  • Adding a way to read more from a category toward the bottom of the page (✅ Fixed)

一些反馈指出了我们显然应该修复或优化的内容,例如漏洞和粗糙的交互细节。 属于此类别的反馈:

  • 信息流中滚动条的显示问题(✅ 已修复)
  • 在有相关链接时,为文章组添加“阅读更多”按钮(✅ 已修复)
  • 在页面底部添加从分类中阅读更多内容的方式(✅ 已修复)

Bucket 2: This is worth investigating.

第二类:值得深入研究。

Some feedback points to things worth exploring further. These are repeated requests that may reflect a broader need or pain point, even if the exact proposed solution is not the one we ultimately pursue. Feedback that falls into this bucket:

  • How the Latest feed is presented and engaged with, especially for those of you who love the pure revchron feed (which Latest is).
  • Dark mode. We are actively working on this.
  • Dates on stories in curated story sets. Removing them was intentional so we could more easily bring older stories back to the forefront, especially when they can add color and context to a timely topic. But we hear the frustration here and are thinking about how to address the underlying pain point.
  • Marking a story as read vs. unread. This is a recurring request and speaks to a broader need for more personalized homepage experiences. That’s something we’re actively planning for, even if this exact feature isn’t currently on the roadmap.

一些反馈指出了值得进一步探索的内容。这些是反复出现的请求,可能反映了更广泛的需求或痛点,即使我们最终采用的解决方案可能与建议的不完全一致。 属于此类别的反馈:

  • “最新”(Latest)信息流的呈现与交互方式,特别是对于那些喜欢纯时间倒序信息流的读者而言。
  • 深色模式。我们正在积极开发中。
  • 精选文章集中的日期显示。移除日期是刻意为之,以便我们能更容易地将旧文章重新推到前台,特别是在它们能为时事话题增加背景和深度时。但我们听到了大家的困扰,正在思考如何解决这一根本痛点。
  • 将文章标记为“已读”或“未读”。这是一个反复出现的请求,反映了对更个性化首页体验的广泛需求。即使该功能目前不在路线图中,我们也在积极规划中。

Bucket 3: Not right now.

第三类:目前暂不考虑。

Some feedback falls into the category of ideas we’re not planning to take on right now. Not because the feedback is bad, but because we have to be deliberate about what we can support. Feedback that falls into this bucket:

  • Free-to-Read and Subscriber Perks sections. We’ve deprecated these sections for now. We’ll revisit if it makes sense down the road.
  • The page structure. We’ve seen a lot of strong opinions on combining curated stories with the firehose feed. We believe in this approach and we need to give it time before considering big structural changes. Many of you love the mix; others, not so much. That’s okay.

一些反馈属于我们目前不打算采纳的想法。这并非因为反馈不好,而是因为我们必须审慎评估我们能支持的工作量。 属于此类别的反馈:

  • “免费阅读”和“订阅者福利”板块。我们目前已弃用这些板块。如果未来有必要,我们会重新考虑。
  • 页面结构。我们看到了许多关于将精选文章与海量信息流结合的强烈意见。我们坚持这种做法,在考虑重大结构性调整之前,我们需要给它一些时间。许多读者喜欢这种混合模式,也有人不太喜欢。这没关系。

I want to be candid about what we can support. We’re a pretty small team and every decision has to be weighed against time, resourcing, complexity, editorial needs, business priorities, and the longer-term vision for where The Verge is going (and we have big ambitions for where we want it to go). We can’t commit to every suggestion, even if we genuinely agree that it’s a great idea.

我想坦诚地说明我们能支持的范围。我们的团队规模很小,每一个决定都必须权衡时间、资源、复杂性、编辑需求、业务优先级以及 The Verge 的长期愿景(我们对它的未来有着宏大的抱负)。我们无法承诺采纳每一条建议,即使我们真心认为那是个好主意。

We’ll fix what needs fixing and dig into the themes that feel most meaningful. We’ll keep prioritizing and working through tradeoffs and constraints. Most importantly, we’ll stay open about what we’re seeing and learning as we go. Please keep the feedback coming.

我们会修复需要修复的问题,并深入研究那些最有意义的主题。我们将继续排定优先级,并在权衡与限制中不断前行。最重要的是,我们会保持开放,分享我们在过程中所见所学。请继续向我们反馈。
