I don’t see a way to click into individual charts to be able to zoom / see them in more detail. They’re a bit crammed on the main page, which is fine for a summary but not great as the only way to view them.
In general it’s a bit weird to have a news website with no way to click into a headline and see more information. Maybe that’s OK for now, but it is surprising as a user. Perhaps you could link to or quote comments from the prediction market websites, or recent related news articles?
Are you using the same fonts as NYT? Probably better to use different ones to distinguish your site.
You’ve got various little weirdness with your borders and formatting. E.g.: the gray vertical lines between columns start at different points near the top. The spacing between the icons next to “Follow” and “Newsletter” is too close.
Re headers and charts. I think what I will do is this: Click on headline --> separate page with full sized chart (and the news links, more info etc)
Re fonts. Yes, the design is ‘inspired’ by the NYT (and the motto by WaPo). It’s kinda meant to be little bit of a pretentious ‘performance art’ making fun of major newspapers. What if NYT was founded in the era of prediction markets? kinda thing
Re formatting. Thanks, I’ve fixed the spacing. The borders is a deliberate choice believe it or not! The idea is to elevate the highest level headers (e.g. Russia-Ukraine) above the borders, to make it clear that a new topic has started. I tried ‘fixing’ the borders, but at least to my eyes it looked worse to be honest—I’ll keep fidgeting...

This is a very cool project, hope it continues!
This is useful feedback, thank you.

Thank you again! It will continue
