I like the simple UI. Here are a few ideas that came to mind while trying it:
- Ask me to choose a few categories before I start so you can do better news targeting and get me more engaged right from the beginning.
- Going through stories need to be faster. Either pre-load the next few stories or show me a list of headlines on the side so I can skim through and click the ones that catch my attention.
- I need a back button. A tiny link would suffice as I won't be using it often, but when I need it it's very useful.
- bbb 16y agoFully agree. I gave up after four stories that I all disliked. Two were totally out of my area of interest (celebrities and horse racing, huh?), and two were tech stories that didn't cross the "marginal curiosity" threshold. Could work, but you'd have to get me hooked more quickly.
- akkartik 16y agoAgreed. My recommendation algorithms do well but need lots of data about you. This is an experiment to see if I can bootstrap with no user data by playing 20 questions at the start. How long are people willing to grant me?
