It's your ad/privacy blocker, FYI.

Not working for me on a fresh install of IE10. I.e. (no pun intended) not due to any sort of ad/privacy blocker.

Yup, this is an error on our end. We've got a fix for it in the next build. Thanks guys!

Wow. Thank you so much for the positive outpour of support, we are near the point of tears of joy with today's launch! I'd like to take a minute and get back to all your questions and comments: * Bugs and glitches: please keep the feedback coming! This is a version 1.0 product, so we're standing ready to fix issues ASAP as they come up. * Technology choice: the iOS app is entirely native, written in Swift. The API is…

Just did a quick site price estimator, probably not super accurate but it said about 18k. http://www.siteprice.org/website-worth/www.timeline.com

I'm not sure how reliable that site is considering it's estimating the domain thehungergames.wikia.com to be worth $30.1M http://www.siteprice.org/website-worth/www.thehungergames.wi...

Also, insurance.com, which was sold for $35.6 million[0], was estimated to be worth [0] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_most_expensive_domain_n...

Looks like this has been developed using the famo.us framework? I only say this because the parallax effect in the video is very reminiscent of a famo.us demo that was there yesterday but gone today.

Their about page lists the licenses for several native iOS libraries (AFNetworking, etc) which suggests it is mostly native.

Dev here. It's all native. Our iOS team says, "some of the third party libraries we have are Objective-C, but we've only written Swift code."

This is great. Will definitely be my go-to app to kill some time and catch up on things.

I noticed an odd sentence structure in an article though. Not sure whether this text was generated, wasn't copy-edited or I'm just not reading it correctly:

> Gadhafi's compound in Tripoli was connected to a web of secret tunnels. But they did not save him: the tunnels where Gadhafi was captured in a tunnel while trying to escape Sirte, his hometown, in a golf cart.

I like the idea of presenting news with related articles for historical context. I don't think I'd download an app. But if it were a website, I'd go there to learn more about a current news topic.

I think this is great execution but I'm not sure I would use it over Wikipedia. If I want to know the timeline of Boko Haram, I think I would get more objective and comprehensive timeline information, with sources, from Wikipedia's page on Boko Haram* than the Timeline.com page . 1 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boko_Haram#2009 2 https://m.timeline.com/#!/stories/boko-haram-nigeria-history

Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, Timeline is a news app that appears to publish articles with historical context and an innovative UI.

Why would you compare them? Apples and oranges, imho.
