- sonaal 11y ago- select multiple sources (set 6 as favorite) - view inspirations (more to be added soon) - Left / rights arrows - toggle between news and inspirations - toggle between light & dark mode :)
- msravi 11y agoCan you make this so it can take any RSS feed/twitter feed and show the top N in each tile?
- sonaal 11y agook will add that to the todo list :)

- michaelmior 11y agoI 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.
- sonaal 11y agoNoted. Will look into - thanks for the feedback
- finishingmove 11y agoI second this. The light mode could also use a minor improvement in contrast. Otherwise awesome idea!
- sonaal 11y ago\m/ will look into the contrast - overall
- pazra 11y agoThird-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 http://i.imgur.com/qQr0xId.png
- sonaal 11y agoOn it :) Contrast has got max feedback - thanks for helping out
- ryanSrich 11y agoYou should never use absolute black. It's a common phrase you'll hear your first day of Color Theory class http://ianstormtaylor.com/design-tip-never-use-black/ http://ianstormtaylor.com/design-tip-never-use-black/

- tutuca 11y agoA little bit more contrast between background and text and it's perfect.
- sonaal 11y agoon it :) thanks for the feedback
- JasonSage 11y agoThis looks pretty good, thanks for sharing! The three-column desktop views cut off way too many titles, meaning if I want the full headline I have to hover over each one for a second or two. At first I didn't even notice, but if you have to do it for every other link it gets tiring. If it had an option for non-columnar view, I might very well use this every day (and still might on mobile).
- sonaal 11y agoThanks for the feedback Jason. Will look into view modes.
- soared 11y agoThis 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!
- cvarjas 11y agoAny chance of changing links to not open new tabs? This makes use of the site difficult on mobile by constantly needing to close windows.
- sonaal 11y agoAah got it. Will look into it. Also if you are on iOS check out the native app?
- USAnum1 11y agoVery 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.
- sonaal 11y agoIf 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.
- fogleman 11y agoGreat start. Need more sources to choose from.
- sonaal 11y agoGlad to hear :) We will be adding more sources soon. Any sources that you would recommend?
- iDemonix 11y agoThe checkboxes for me (latest version of Chrome on Mac) are a bit dodgy and sometimes won't check/uncheck. Also, there's nothing more infuriating than getting the checkboxes how I want them, pressing submit and then it wiping out my changes and shaking an error message at me. It took me a while to realise I had to select 6 starred sources, why do you wipe out my choices just to tell me I forgot to pick 6? Very annoying. If you refresh the page too it throws a server error. Good product, definitely needs polish.
- teeboy 11y agoWhat is the web stack behind it? It's really nice.
- teeboy 11y agoAre you using J2EE?
- davorb 11y agoYeah, way too low contrast. I use redshift at night, and this isn't readable for me.
- sonaal 11y agoPossible to add a screenshot of how it looks with redshift? Working on the contrast part.
- pr0vitamin 11y agoGreat idea! I can see myself using this. One note: The Chrome extension would be much more useful if it was configurable to allow more use-cases. I installed the Chrome extension, and it appears to replace the "new tab" page, with no alternatives. Having it appear every single time I open a new tab would be productivity crushing, so I removed it again.
- sonaal 11y agoThanks for the feedback. On the productivity part We are looking into 'task mode' with a simple todo-list. More on that soon :)
- the_cat_kittles 11y agoit would be cool to figure out the karma exchange rate between sites and make one single list, easier said than done of course
- sonaal 11y ago:)
