Type is too large. Too much white, hard on the eyes. Logo looks like Comic Sans? That's a poor choice.

Thanks for suggestion. Changed the color. Working on others.

I can barely fit 3 posts at one time on my mobile screen as opposed to 10 HN posts. This is way too big.

I actually thought of it. But I believe that although reddit can be a great platform but it comes with certain limitations.

With so many things going on in blockchain and cryptocurrecnices at so many fronts, a subreddit would give preference to only popular things. That is why I have added tags (Needs more improvement though), so that a person can look at his interest specifically.

We can also add New ICOs section, something similar to SHOW HN to cover ICOs as well.

And also web generally gives free hand to lead the project as you and your users want to compared to a subreddit. And as a programmer I love that feeling. :)

True that.

But now the title sounds like a clickbait :( (Had no intention of that)

You might wanna include more sources for your aggregation, including subreddits....

Take a look at https://cryptopanic.com

I was more joking about HN constantly have front page on cryptocurrencies/blockchain, i don't need a dedicated one lol as there's more than I need(but I am specifically not interested in that I am sure others are)
