Okay, so I've been hunting for a news app that doesn't feel like Excel hell β you know, overwhelming and impossible to navigate. Espresso from The Economist actually gets it. It's got this 'essentialist' approach, which means I'm not drowning in useless info. The key thing for me is the global perspective; it's not just US-centric, which is statistically significant in my book. Plus, the visualizations are on point. I can actually grok the data they're presenting. I haven't dug into the API capabilities yet, but if they're as clean as the datasets they're curating, I'm sold. Seriously, finally, goodbye to endless scrolling!

"Expresso gives me the essentialist amount of information that I need to know for the day about the worldβs political economy. Not too American, not too much information, and not too visually distracting."
