I do need to add this button, I just had other areas of the app that took my attention. In the meantime, drop me an email [email protected] or use the support form on the site and I'll get your account removed :)

You're not the first person to ask this today, so I defiantly need to clarify this! But yes, a web app, I've added the mobile meta too so you can add it to the app drawer of your mobile device if you so wish :)

It sure does! I find naming stuff hard and can't remember exactly how I decided on Enkel, but it meaning 'Simple' in Norwegian was a big part.

So I created Enkel originally to fulfil my own desire for a clean and simple way to consume news. Having tried a few platforms, I found them to be cluttered and distracting. Further more, some placed ads among feeds and offered no methods of reading the article without visiting the source site and being bombarded with ads, popups, video etc. The free tiers were rather limited, bugged you to upgrade and have fallen into the current trend monitizing user data.

The intial offering of Enkel is somewhat less than other competitors, which is why it comes at a significantly lower price. However it's in continous development with new features being implemented regularly.

Enkel isn't the right tool for everyone, and that's okay. It's intedned for those who want a clean and simple way to consume written media regularly without distraction.
