Thanks, I'll take a look. For me, the best interface is old.reddit.com, precisely because it's possible to scan a huge amount of news in a very short space of time. I don't need fancy white space, large images and other stuff. Just gimme the meat and a small thumbnail. This is maybe because I hail from the RSS generation? :)

This one is definitely tucked away for later. I spend a lot of time in my terminal and also look for a terminal-based app or tui first. And there are some things I can do with RSS, just not in this first version.

  OK, so I've been browsing around and bookmarked it for when I'm off the phone. First thoughts 1. Gorgeous interface. Bad... Really clunky to navigate around, especially on mobile. Each post takes multiple seconds to parse and access, where it should be MUCH shorter IMO. 2. Too much functionality scattered around the interface drowns out the key items. For example, you've buried the Follow (Subscriptions?) function in amongst a bunch of other less important things like Cred Desk and Notifications. It makes things confusing. 3. I'm not sure what the purpose of the Article Cred slider is at the top of the Front page. That's the most important space on your app, and you've given it over to something confusing and probably not so valuable? Why not use that to section to highlight the top 3 functions people will want to use? Maybe News Stream, Subscriptions and Favorites or something? Just my first impressions. Gorgeous app, but I probably won't just it until it comes with a super condensed mode so I can scan rapidly like I do HN and Reddit old.

    Awesome. Thanks for the feedback. 1. I understand the frustration. I haven't really done anything for speed and performance yet. It's really an MVP. 2. Good feedback. I'll see what others think as well. There is a bug currently. Each post should have a meatball menu where you can follow another contributor or publisher. It is missing on some cards. The Subscription button in the nav bar is to see a feed of only those you follow. 3. The CRED slider at the top of the Front Page, Bullpen and Cred Desk gives you the ability to filter out content not meeting a minimum cred percentile (different on each feed). Again, appreciate the feedback.

    BTW, I have fixed the bug, so now the meatball menu properly shows on all cards in the feeds. Thanks again for the feedback. Let me know if you have any other issues or suggestions. All feedback is welcome!
