The users left. It's mostly just me and one last reader who checks out a couple of stories everyday. It doesn't engage anyone but me.
There's a problem with this whole category of apps. Reading solutions are like content - they're getting commoditized.
There's also lots of problems with this app itself. There's no overt personalization. It's good that the UI is simple, but bad that the layout is simplistic. There's none of the richness of a newspaper layout to stimulate the visual cortex.
If I could build something that truly engaged a few users I'd be happy for a while.
Let's chat more offline if you want.
- dkersten 16y agoI don't know if this is helpful or not, but I had a look at the site and don't really understand what its trying to do. Perhaps you need something to engage new users - to show them what it is and why they want it? I don't know if I like it because, after browsing for a few moments (like every other potential user of anything, I have a very short attention span when checking out random websites without any prior goals), I still don't know what it does.
