I like it. Feature request. Allow me to add a reference when I "Confirm" it

If you click "confirm" you should see "URL" and "description" - you should be adding a reference. Maybe the wording is ambiguous; we should change "URL" to "reference?"

yes, I would keep tweaking the words if i were you to be exactly explicit/specific. eg:

1. 'like" is better than 'upvote' because it is clear that i am evaluate whether i like(re: enjoy) something, but what metric am i using to [up]vote on something?

2. "Reference URL" describes specifically what you want rather than some random URL.

The stream of hint boxes that need to be closed before the page actually loads is very distracting and probably unnecessary to most users

I like them initially, but they return every time you come back. Only showing them once would be a much more pleasant experience.

I'm having trouble viewing the page. I've successfully signed up and in, but the newsfeed hangs (blank page): http://api.grasswire.net/v1/newsfeeds All javascript etc. is also loaded succesfully. Any ideas?

Pushing up some changes now that should hopefully fix that. Essentially, the AWS healthcheck ping is timing out so it's removing instances from our load balancer. The streaming of tweets down to the client is pretty intensive and apparently a big bottleneck at the moment.

No tweets showing up. But yay otherwise! :)

Give it just a second :)

I had to load the site 5 times before reading this comment and just being patient. Seems like a good tip to add to the onboarding tour.

Great feedback. But what if something is important but I don't "like" it - similar to how I'm not sure whether I should like a post on FB when my boss in unemployed. We've had that feedback too, like "This is awful and heartbreaking - do I favorite it?" (Favorite was the word we used to use).

EDIT: fixed, thanks. I figure you're doing some live updating to the code right now, but just a heads up, I get two errors and a blank page atm: XMLHttpRequest cannot load http://api.grasswire.net/v1/newsfeeds. No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource. Origin 'http://grasswire.com' is therefore not allowed access.

Do you have Adblock installed? That caused an error for me.

I do, yeah. Will try without it.

EDIT: disabled it and ghostery, saw no improvement.
