- zinssmeister 14y agowish the typography was nicer, esp. since they are in the news sector. But those fun-animations are definitely showing off the type of culture they are going for?
- citricsquid 14y agoDefinitely, there is no plausible way that the look of that page is intentional. The text is really messed up, overlapping, poor composition, things don't line up...
- bradfordcross 14y agoAre you folks looking at the site on windows? browser/os?
- Kique 14y agoDefinitely doesn't look right on my laptop, using Chrome/Windows 7. http://i.imgur.com/Yt5H9.png http://i.imgur.com/Yt5H9.png
- bradfordcross 14y agothanks, we've gotten bad about testing on windows lately. the team is growing so we'll be able to do a better job across OS's and on mobile web soon. please excuse the temporary rubbish. :)
- div 14y agoWindows 7, Chrome 20.0.1132.47 m. The last line of text from people's bios tends to be left aligned and overlapped by the animation of the next person.
- technel 14y agoLooks fine on Chrome 19.01/Ubuntu 12.04.
- zinssmeister 14y agoI was looking at it on Chrome/Mac. Where it doesn't look messy but I just thought the font/size/weight choice is poor.
- janaboruta 14y agoThis is awesome. Nice job guys!
- DanielRibeiro 14y agoPrismatic is one of my favourite startups this moment. Bradford's talk on Clojure West was amazing (you can watch it online here[1]). Their blog bost on Clustering Related Stories[2] was one of the most interesting applied ML posts I've read in a while. Trivia 1: Bradford Cross was also one of the founders[3] of Flightcaster (YC S09). Trivia 2: One of his other Flightcaster co-founders (Jason Freedman) is the founder of 42Floors (YC W12).

- reason 14y agoI don't want to be that guy, but as someone in the medical field, I take issue with OCD being thrown around so casually as a good thing to have. It's a legitimate mental disorder that can cause its sufferers a lot of turmoil. I absolutely get what you guys are going for, and you seem like a fun bunch, but I'd be a bit more sensitive about using terms like that. It'd be like someone saying "We're looking for ridiculously good programmers, like autistic good."
- dougws 14y agoAbsolutely right. There are plenty of ways of making the same point without invoking a very serious condition that makes a lot of peoples' lives extremely difficult.
- salimmadjd 14y agoNicely done! I really like the philosophy behind the prismatic but I don't find myself using it. I've mentioned this several time, their content density is very low. Probably because it was designed on a giant cinema or 27" display and not on laptop. I would suggest cutting the size of each article smaller and providing me with a context navigation on the side. Like a simple TOC would be fine. Also I would suggest letting users recommend articles. I know this is all about AI, but probability works in aggregate and machines don't have egos and do not get excited if someone else shares their recommended articles.
- NHQ 14y agoI will work at Prismatic.
