Welcome to Quartz

It's great to see someone taking a new approach to news. They really seem to get how people consume content.

This is UI madness, things hides, moves and pop around with no obvious relation with my input.

The main news timeline is promising though, but greatly needs visual codes for differentiating and qualifying content.

It's great to focus on the content while not putting technology asides, but your publishing tool is also of strategical importance. It's great to have rethought the general way of showing information, but this is, to me, clearly half baked.

Comparing that with your submission title (for whatever it means, it evokes technology), makes me think you have a problem here.

I think the UI needs a lot of work. When I think of the future of news, I think of something like Mashable's latest UI (which I personally think is quite beautiful).

One comment - when I look at the top bar (side note: the automatic slide is jarring and unnatural IMO), I see titles like "Low Interest Rates". That makes me think of spam/advertisements.

Another one: "The Next Crisis"? Again, makes me think of spam.

I honestly just don't know what I'm looking at on this site. However, I think with some work, this could be interesting.

First, I just stumbled on this and am not affiliated with it.

Second, I agree that some parts of the UI are overkill. Keep in mind that it has been designed for tablets and phones though: "(...) built primarily for the devices closest at hand: tablets and mobile phones."

The title of this post is taken from the text the link points to. From the text itself: "Developers and journalists, sometimes one-and-the-same, sit next to each other in the Quartz newsroom as we continually iterate and experiment."

I'm simply happy to see someone trying something new.
