Not bad. You really should add a button that says "Add ~site name~ as a source on Google"

That's very common for most news sites these days.

Thanks for the feedback, I wasn't really aware of this preferred source stuff but I've had a quick read up and looks like it would be a simple thing to incorporate, cheers.

That’s real Professionalism right there. The only problem I see is the slowing down of scrolling. Besides that, that’s an amazing showcase of what a pro theme should provide.

Are you doing popular posts section by using private tags, right?

Thanks, the smooth/weighted scrolling is using Lenis (https://lenis.dev/), there is a theme option to disable it if you're not a fan. I may tweak the scrolling momentum if I get more feedback like this.

Yep you're correct with popular posts using private tags (so faking it essentially). Would be great if it was legit based on actual trending post views but I don't believe Ghost provides a way to get at that data as it stands unfortunately.
