Congratulations on putting this out there and on the courage needed to tackle a new design. There's a lot of hard work here.
- Would removing text make the UI clearer? I wish the black readrs margin was completely gone, along with the grey search bar underneath it. And in return the search circle became bigger.
- The most striking change compared to a Google Search is that it forces you to change your perspective on what's important to search for. I find myself pausing most of the time. This is probably more of a good sign than it originally appears. It fights off the urge of the fingers to type. One more reason to put the search bar out of sight.
- This is probably an indulgence: I wished it could show me things going on around where I live. Like a TimeOut magazine. I see there's an Entertainment section, but it doesn't seem to work using my IP address for geolocation.
I love it! I can't wait to see what comes next.
- avaku 13y agoHi read, thanks a lot! - I think you're right. I am already hiding the top bar when you scroll a bit down. Should probably move the search box. How about the following crazy idea - I was thinking to have another mode when all you see is keywords. That would allow even faster overview of everything. You could see articles on "mouse hover". What do you think? - Yeah, this is a double-sided sword. It's kind of google, asking you first - so what do you want? Instead of showing you everything. I should probably show summary of everything at first, but I decided to go with just a circle on the front page for now - to increase impression that this is something new. Great advice though, thank you! - No geolocation for now, sorry. I am a single founder, so if I find some financing, I will put this on top of the list ;) Thanks again! I can't wait too ;)
- read 13y agoSeeing all keywords is another cool idea. I'd love to try it. People don't ask enough the question 'what do you want'.
- avaku 13y agoNow I'll have to recover my old GUI... Should not have listened to the wrong people, and instead kept it as an alternative... Thank you!!
