Some comments and bugs: - The videos in the live stream are all really unappealing (not the content but the way they're presented), there should really be titles or comments or something on them. - The tweets move too quickly and the flashing is annoying, I have to keep scrolling to read them properly - The content above the black bar also needs some context besides just being pictures - Hitting the ESC key I expect to close any open models, but instead I get redirected to the front page - Tweets with ampersands in them show up as &

Holy crap, I think you just read off my "todo" list! Haha, thanks so much for the feedback. Anything else you don't like?

  No worries :) Sure I can list off a few more things: - The videos under the bar seem to have consistently low resolution thumbnails, maybe try making them a bit smaller (to a resolution where they are meant to be in)? - Many of the tweets aren't in English so they don't mean much to me, maybe detect languages and remove ones that aren't my native language / translate them? - Just generally I prefer text over images or video for anything news related, and right now it seems like an overflow of images. e.g., Pinterest is almost all pictures but their 'main' content literally is whatever is in the picture (usually), whereas your 'main' content is the news, so I want to be able to just glance at a page for a news item and know without having to interact much further what is going on, similar to reddit.com/r/news. - Also some other minor UI things that I noticed, the magnifying glass just seems strange, I guess it is a way to signal that this isn't a normal tweet but something I'm meant to pick out and observe further, but I might try doing that in a different way because it is just unconventional. - It would be great to have a "score", like how many people have upvoted, how many confirmed and what their reference was, how many refuted and why; some level of discussion to go with it, etc.
