Some beautiful design and thoughtful UI in the app here, and this is also a lovely microsite - I love the use of the video full screen. It'd be great to see some of this sort of thoughtful design go into the UI of web browsers on mobile platforms (which are also platforms for reading and sharing stories).

Shame it's from Facebook.

The video was choppy and froze part way through. Seems to happen to me a lot with these types of websites. On different computers, even.

Felt annoyed with the video, couldn't tell for how long it would keep going. But nice resolution in full screen.

I wonder what 53 will make of Facebook's choice of App name?

Happened to me as well. Can't understand why huge companies with a wide variety of visitors use techniques that deliver sub-par experiences so often. I'm running the latest version of Firefox with a $2k Macbook Pro.

Does seem like a fluid UXD. Shame android is second class citizen again, and you have to be on facebook to use it.

Hopefully if it does pan out as well as the video shows, other apps like flipboard will start incorporating its flow.
