Nice, 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!
Facebook login. Cannot use. :(
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.
Metamoderation has always demonstrated the ability to support quality, especially in the absence of identity. People lacking history or demonstrating poor behavior punish themselves and self-select in that environment.
I'm not complaining except for the fact that I'm deliberately avoiding Facebook - there are people on there I want nothing to do with and from whom I wish to isolate myself, and the utter complexity of privacy issues on Facebook further turn me off to it. I feel safer when I can dissociate my accounts across various sites, however misguided that may be. I'd like to participate on your site, as it looks interesting, but the requirement of a Facebook account is a complete dealbreaker.
Maybe you could use embedly to pull in a picture from the submission, instead of using the alternating robots.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
How would you like to sort things?
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.
