that's actually pretty unappealing visually. uncluttered doesn't just mean "don't add extraneous ui elements", it also means that you don't try to cram too much visually undistinguished information into too small a space. i'm trying not to be overly negative, because this is a hard problem and no one has really solved it well, but the current page does not make me feel like reading it.
another obvious problem is that you organise by source. this is doubtless the easiest thing to do, but as a consumer of news who has come to an aggregator site, i care about the story first, and who ran it second. some sort of ai classifier that could group by story type rather than by source newspaper would be a big help in deciding what i want to click on.
- singhvimal 15y agoYou make a good point about ui and it's proving to be a tough problem to solve as half the crowd likes to go with the story and they care less about the source while the other half's first requirement is which newspaper or source. Maybe there's a middle of the road approach or possibly offer both.
