Melkjug has a slick new look
Melkjug.org recently got a nice facelift. Congrats to Luke, Josh, and the design team - great work.
Melkjug is TOPP's newsfeed reader and tuner. If you're like me, your current feed reader probably has thousands of unread articles. Melkjug uses your preferences ("I like articles written by Kelly Vaughan" or "I like articles that Tim liked") to sort through all your articles and find the ones you actually want to read.
