The German language appears to have a lot of good words for app names. In fact, a lot of times when I'm trying to come up with names for apps and such, I usually just head over to Google Translate and start translating mundane English words into other languages until I get one that sounds cool coming off my American-English tongue.<p>Lesen is the German verb meaning "to read". There was another submission recently about an immutable/persistent data structure library named Immer which means, roughly, "always".
I’ve been working on this app for reading Tech news from multiple sources in one place and having easy access to the comments of each one, its something I really wanted for me and didn’t find an app that would do it right.<p>I’d like to get some feedback before going much further on development, this is the very minimal version of what I want it to be.<p>Stuff that I plan to add:<p>- More sources (what other sources you know that would make sense to include?)
- Save for later (even though I can already save to pocket from the app, this would be nice to have)
- Configurable sources
- Allow hiding stories
- Detection and hiding of duplicates
- User accounts: allow to sync read, hidden and saved articles across platforms<p>What else would you like seeing in this app? :)
How are the rankings for items from HN & Reddit weighted in the 'all' list? Surely this is hard to balance correctly?<p>When I made <a href="http://serializer.io" rel="nofollow">http://serializer.io</a> I opted to list items that reached a certain threshold sequentially but I've wondered about how I might better present the vote information.
A bit off topic here.
I'd like to appreciate how tiny, the payload for the site is. The main js, is just over 18 kb. Too small for a SPA. It loads quickly and reacts reasonably quickly. Good job on that.<p>Noticed that the analytics related js file alone, took over 11kb. We can do a better job at this.
It's nice to have a single interface to access multiple sources, but when you click on the comments you are taken to the origin site's comment section. If you could comment directly from your webapp that would be a very useful.
Cool! If you've currated the sources that could make it easier. You should take a look at feedly [ <a href="http://feedly.com/" rel="nofollow">http://feedly.com/</a> ]. You could learn from their UX, and maybe improve upon it. I currently use them on my browser and my phone(android), and I enjoy the experience and control.<p>Good luck!
Another good source to add is Lobste.rs. I love it. If it was more popular i'd easily pick it over Reddit/HN, but it's quite small currently.
