This is one of the things we're working on at Start.Me (http://thestart.me http://thestart.me) . We're trying to speed up your online browsing routine and figure out how to add both RSS and non-RSS sites to feeds without users necessarily having to know what RSS means; just what sites they want to keep up with. Would love anyone's feedback after we release something next week.
- nhangen 15y agoCould you try not loading a hover box on first page load? It looks like you're doing something neat, but I hate having to have 'no' as my first response. Good work though.
- altrego99 15y agoAgreed, but there needs to be a mechanism to tell me how to use it. I like the idea of flicking around to browse, and this is not something I would have guessed without the info boxes.
- ClintonWu 15y agoYeah, we were really trying to get users to click the "Try Demo" button to bring up the info boxes that teach the flicking to navigate but I do hear both your thoughts on creating less friction at first interaction.
- stdbrouw 15y agoNot to be a debbie downer, but you can enter any website in Google Reader and get a feed subscription back too, without having to know what RSS means. (It doesn't, strictly speaking, work on non-RSS sites, true, but despite the recent trend we're talking about here, most sites still have 'em if you look hard enough.) That said, it's a marketing thing. If you can make things click for the everyday joe, all the more power to you!
