It would be a very straight forward assumption that a DDG mobile app would laser focused on quick search. I'm curious: how did the stories feature come to be?

It has a long history, starting even before DuckDuckGo. https://www.hnsearch.com/search#request/all&q=watrcoolr

Perhaps I should do a post on it on the DDG blog.

I'd gladly read that.

I'd also appreciate an option on the app to bypass the stories and cut straight to what ddg does best: no frills, no tracking search.
