The Thursday note signup now belongs to the same editorial rhythm as the essays around it.
- A single electric-blue rule replaces the nested bordered card on wide screens.
- The live countdown uses clear type and quiet dividers instead of four saturated tiles.
- The signup action remains prominent without competing with the article headline.
- On phones, the signup follows the post list so the writing stays high on the first screen.
- Article sidebars and end-of-article signup areas share the same layout and timing language.
The result is a calmer invitation to receive the next essay without interrupting the current one.
