| Can I make a feature request?

| I should be able to search on some tag like 'Afghanistan' and get
| the pages from the papers around the world with articles on it.

| Likewise for yesterday's pact US/UK did with Australia : Would
| love to quickly scan what the editorials in US, Europe, China,
| India etc have to say on it.

| Guessing via things like:

|
| https://enewspaper.latimes.com/desktop/latimes/default.aspx?...

| Ah, yeah. This page is fairly similar to the linked site:

|
| On the app, you can't really read the front pages, as they
| are downsampled images.
