A sorting & filtering feature would seal the deal for me!

#12Hi Everyone. This my new product - Narf - A user curated news site. A lot like Hacker News, which I love, but where people use their real identities. My theory is that real identities will help produce great conversations... Would love any feedback you have to give.
Looks nice, with a clean/simple layout. The only thing I found to be distracting are the weight and position of the discuss/comments buttons. As they are aligned with the end of the byline for each article they aren't in the same place between articles, and being buttons they are significantly larger than the surrounding text. Of course if your intention was to draw attention to those buttons it worked on me.

The goal is to draw attention, so that people will discuss the stories. Glad it worked. :)

You should copy reddit's. Basically time-based sort, and trending submission sort.
Also inevitably you'd need some grouping/labeling so users can filter out/in. E.g. I'd never want any submission about cats.

#17Nice, but it's departure from HN's and Reddit's minimalistic clean UI, so, often the lack of any design attempt is the best design!

#18Hi narf's!
What do you use for search?
Don't you want to try hosted search like IndexDen (IndexTank alternative) and move search management to our shoulders?
BTW: We're helping everyone with integration ;-)
Kind Regards http://IndexDen.com

This was one of the first comments I expected to get. :) My theory is that people using their real identities as provided by Facebook will improve the quality of the site. We'll see how it goes.
