Verge Overhauls Homepage to Split Big Stories from the Firehose

The Verge unveils a two-track homepage: a left column featuring top stories and topic sets, and a right column with an uninterrupted reverse-chronological feed; mobile mirrors this toggle system, and a Following feed remains accessible. The redesign aims to balance major reporting with a fast, customizable stream, with plans for a public product updates page and a reader research group to inform future changes, including dark mode, an app, and federation.
