I was able to spend 5 minutes on this site and get more valuable information than I would have gotten if I'd spent an hour watching the news or two hours searching and curating information for myself.

#53This is interesting. How is it determined what goes on the front page?
Also, the lack of animation when moving the mouse off of an item is a bit jarring compared to when the mouse onto an item.

#54A dupe of https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7573989 .
These are actually completely different, though the titles are similar since they’re trying to solve the same problem. But not one line of code is the same, the solution is different, etc. The only thing that is the same is the problem we’re trying to solve and the domain. And… apparently the HN title.
The old one was just a list of tweets from the Twitter search API with an arrow that allowed people to move them up and down or.
The new one is a functioning newsroom, we do some machine learning to bring in youtube videos/tweets that we’ve identified to be relevant to a specific story, allow people to up vote, confirm or refute (while providing a link), take that all into some stuff we do on the back end and spit out content sized according to its importance (as a function of time, relevance, votes and fact checks).

Ok, in that case we'll unbury it.

#56When tweets start coming in it becomes very annoying when I'm trying to read a tweet and it keeps pushing it lower and lower and I have to keep scrolling down to read it only to have it get pushed lower again. But really good place to get a handle on all the news happening.

Thanks for the feedback. You're absolutely right, that is really annoying. We're going to implement pausing that live feed when you scroll down.

Right now it's hand-picked ("do things that don't scale"), eventually we would like everything to be 100% community driven.

#60This really needs a "disturbing content ahead" warning on the parts of the site that have graphic images. I really don't expect to see decapitated bodies when I randomly click a link.
In theory we aren't pulling in any content that qualifies as "disturbing" from Twitter. In practice you're absolutely right. Will get on that.
No I think it should be there. The people should really know whats happening and they'll not be ignorant anymore. They'll start to care and share. If some are afraid to face the truth , then let them be. But pls don't try to censor the news!
