I love this app. One small room for improvement is that the browser icon in the web link thumbnail (see image) can be distracting. Any ideas?

I'd, for example, place it bottom-right inside the image, as it's not a key information.

Illogical visual flow. We have seen slides that put the key information in the bottom right corner. ...Try to avoid those layouts if possible, in Western culture it’s preferable to put the most important elements at the top or center of the slide.

Sorry, I couldn't find a more authentic source but the above is a support.

That said, even if the icon is to be placed to the bottom-right, it'd still be distracting. Maybe increase color transparency, maybe there are better options.

Other apps solve do not link directly to URLs fron TL in the first place. Maybe that's the solution. If I'm going to jump to an article, I will also open the thread anyway
