Design is great! Who did it and how can average entrepreneur imitate it. BTW I thought there will be easy way to import Google reader list but there is none. (I first selected interesting then blank.)
RSS is dead & google reader works fine.
That said, I was really hoping you'd have your own sharing mechanism. The major thing Google Reader lost in the transition was the ability to share and comment in a unified manner - having to go to Twitter or Facebook to read comments on something you shared elsewhere is a pain.
Also, doesn't look like there's any tracking of read/unread items.
Would be nice to be able to import my Google Reader subscription list so I can instantly compare the two tools.
The Tweets and shared comments is an interesting idea, but took me a while to find - this is the one thing that would get me to come back and use this over Google Reader. Nice differentiator.
The design is nice.
Don't show the entire story when you visit one of the categories. Just show headlines.
It rendered terribly slowly, scrolling was jerky, and page navigation was completely unresponsive. Eventually the browser just crashed.
The first category I visited was Science. It showed science stuff.
The next category I visited was Film. It also showed science stuff.
This is a great MVP, but for me, there is one feature I would NEED before I would consider switching.
Google Reader shows you a count of how many posts are unread, and as you read them, it removes it from the list. That feature is the most important for me. Any plans on addressing this? Or do you already have this and I'm just not seeing it?
When looking at my subscriptions I clicked on the pub in the upper left to go to your homepage (to add a pack to my subscriptions) and what it does is change the view in some way that's totally not obvious to me. I get a different top story. Maybe its changing the sort order, but theres' no visual indication of what has changed, only the story I was reading is replaced. I click it again and it switches back.
Great MVP, and bonus points for the effortless signup.
