   Not everything that's addictive is necessarily time-wasting! In reasonable doses, I've been learning a ton of interesting stuff just browsing through my linked articles.

   That's a great question and one that other apps in the same space (Flipboard, Zite) have publicly struggled with. As this is just a small project for now, we're not too worried about content providers getting mad. But it's definitely someth

   We'll work on a demo video/screenshots as we continue to work on the project! Definitely agree that it's needed.

   The follow to followers ratio was something we definitely considered and will hopefully be able to put into a future version! We think it's a cool stat, but we didn't want to clutter the page with numbers and make it overbearing.

   Thanks so much for the feedback! We're planning on building in recommendations as a big part of the service -- and trying to make the experience more social overall. Your other suggestions are awesome too. Glad it's providing a bit of value

    Totally agree -- we're learning and under no pretenses about being skilled at design. We'd love some concrete ideas or general suggestions about the design, if you have any off the top of your head?

    I totally get what you mean. Not being web designers, it's pretty hard for us to feel out what works and what doesn't -- we kind of just subscribe to the trial-and-error method. If you think of anything we can do to make it look more "fun"

    Love the super simple sign-up. I think this combined with the basic gist of start.io would make a killer app.

    You might be right. Although I'd kinda love a cease-and-desist from the NFL. Frame it up or something.

    You're not missing anything! It's just a simple little page, in the vein of isitraining.in and such sites. We started as the Super Bowl started, and worked while watching. That's all.
