I used this to: Local News Website in the Netherlands called Assenstad
Owner's reply: Thank you Stefan for the review!

Excellent module - much better than default related/newest articles



Posted on 14 May 2017
Functionality
Adds modern image and control over latest / newest articles - a lot of options to customize.
Ease of use
Play around a little bit and you learn everything
I used this to: Show the latest and related articles, both on com_content and other pages
Aiming to reduce my bounce rate and increase the time new visitors visit my site.
Note that if you use images it will slightly slow down site due to images. Thumbnails are large according to page insights
Owner's reply: Thank you for the review! I appreciate it.
Thumbnail sizes can be tweaked by using the picture quality parameters.
The heavier the original images, the heavier the thumbnails. If originals are light in weight, thumbnails tend to be lighter also.
Available soon: additional free plugins that will drastically reduce the image sizes by using external services available on the Internet.
