#3This is the first personalised news app that seems to work quite well, at least for me. I don't like their web UI too much (the little widgets with scrollbars are too painfully similar to the new unusable Gmail design). But it's still minimal enough and the content good enough that I keep using it.
I think they'd do well to just focus on the content and simplify the UI to a basic webpage.

#4I love their technology, but don't like their design either. I've read some of their recent design blog post, and I'm getting a vibe that they think they're to good for feedback.
The reality is that their page design is more driven by look at how clean my design is rather than let's make it easier for people to quickly glance and pick most interesting content in the list.

We love to get feedback on the design issues feedback@getprismatic.com
We know there's a lot wrong with the details you're bringing up. There are some items in the trackers that deal with helping you see more quickly why a particular story might be interesting, so we're happy to hear more ideas about this.

We'd really like to get some detailed feedback on what's not working for you about the design. feedback@getprismatic.com
