The Next Web added, should show on the next db refresh.
Plans is an interesting question, thanks for asking.
When I built it originally I had this huge project in mind (as we all do :) ), bookmarks, saved articles in a user area, FB login, link tracking for a "most popular links box", live stream, recommendation algos, the works.
I guess this scale is one of the reasons I originally dropped it.
After the rediscovery I thought "let's go MVP on this". So I cut everything back. What you see is what surivived. Literally, just the news links, on a html page, that is quick to load with no server hit.
Future plans - let's see how it goes eh. If the hosting bill enters the trips I'll drop a few ads in, but I like the cleanness of it all for now.
