Can you make this so it can take any RSS feed/twitter feed and show the top N in each tile?

ok will add that to the todo list :)

Can you generate an RSS feed for top X per Y time period? Would be cool if I could import that into feedly.

This is cool. I think the benefit of condensing these sources into 1 is either that you have to check them less often, or you only get the best posts. If its the second, a top 5 of the day would be more useful. If its the first, its perfect!

If the first, feedly or any RSS reader works and supports more sites.

Thanks for the feedback :) It's the first one - condensing the best news for that hour, from sources which have a lot of posts

Very cool site! Some quick feedback: changing pages (eg: navigating from 'new' to 'inspiration', 'sources', etc...) while in night mode switches the user back to day mode, which can be quite jarring.

If you go to 'Manage sources' and set the default theme to dark - it will work for both 'News' and 'Inspiration'. But yeah dark mode everywhere (even in manage sources) is something we need to work on.

RSS and custom sources is something we need to work on - will see what best we can do here. Thanks for the feedback :)

I like the dark mode, but for me the contrast between the text and background is far too low. Coupled with the relatively small font size, this really compromises legibility.

Third-ed. Contrast way too low. Why not use #000000 for the background color? Everything just looks washed out as it stands and almost has the effect of making everything look disabled.

How about something closer to this? http://i.imgur.com/qQr0xId.png
