While I agree with you that content-wise it's just your news feed w/ a different look and feel, it seems to be filtered to just articles vs status posts. Furthermore, there seems to be an interest-based category filter. Consider this. HN is a website community that you trust will post quality content. Similarly FB can also be that way, but the community is your friends. If I can filter this new app so that only I only see a subset of my friends (the ones that post quality content), then this app would be different and valuable, no?
