This is the exact reason why we started PushdUp. As a long time reddit user I was getting sick of the drama that was happening and decided to take it upon myself to create something different. We are still in VERY early alpha so there are bound to be some bugs. Come join the revolution. http://www.pushdup.com http://www.pushdup.com , feedback is welcome and encouraged.
- wingerlang 11y agoLoading animation in the beginning, I'm bored already. After loading, it just looks like some clickbait buzzfeed or auto-generated "read these 5 articles more, please" because of the big pictures set in a grid.
- astrowilliam 11y agoThanks for the feedback. We are playing around with different layouts to see what people like more, so far the big picture layout isn't exactly what we are looking for but we are still working on it. I'm wondering if you actually read the article titles or if you just closed it down before noticing any of them?
- ljk 11y agohopefully your site takes off! i felt like he was a little too harsh, the site does look a little too simple maybe that could put some people off
- astrowilliam 11y agoThanks, man. I want to keep it super simple, no distractions. I'm sure it's not for everyone, but I have a vision and I'm working towards it. Glad you stopped by.
- wingerlang 11y agoI did not read them, no. Just went back and did, nothing special. Same like every website (this is not criticism, although I don't like clickbaity titles in general, like "Xi Jinping has run into the one thing in China he can't control". Grid layout is still shit, It makes it harder to skim and keep track of where you were.
- jammi 11y agoYep, his site sucks. Basically reminded me of what digg looked like after v4 with its "new digg" thing once the users were gone.
- astrowilliam 11y agoThanks for the honest and brutal feedback.
- adventured 11y agoRemove the "privacy" and "about" links in the top left. That's among your most valuable real-estate. 99.x% of your users will never read either page, not under any scenario. Move them somewhere else reasonable. You might say: well, but it's important to explain our culture on the about page; to explain what we're all about. To that I say: no it's not, your users are not going to partake in, or come to understand, your site's culture via an about page. That happens on the site itself.
- astrowilliam 11y agoThanks for the feedback and I totally agree. We are working on all of the things you mentioned above. It should be in the next release, Monday.
