I feel like this would benefit from infinite scrolling. Having to stop and paginate gives me too much time to evaluate just what I'm doing with my time.

Add keyboard nav to upvote, downvote, and cycle through pics. The internet needs a streamlined cat experience.

It might not be possible, but I would love to see this website scaling so fast it would become <i>the</i> place for cat pictures, hence forcing all social media back to doing some public good.

You should really submit this to Reddit (if you haven't already),. This is exactly the thing that the Reddit community would die for.

This a great start, I think there's definitely something here.<p>I think the biggest issue right now is just making the experience of browsing more dynamic. Endless scroll would help make it easier to see more cats faster, but I'm not sure that's enough.<p>One thing to think about would be making the cats able to be tagged, so we could browse categories.<p>Somehow, an extra level of engagement needs to come in. As hideous as that kittenwar.com site is, I end up wanting to stay there longer and I end up seeing more kittens because the game aspect keeps me interested.

It would be nice to have next / previous / random buttons on the detail pages.<p>I tried to add a couple pictures, and they haven't shown up on the "newest cats" page (and yes, I'm sure I'm not just looking at a cached version). If that's by design, it would probably be a good idea to display a message to that effect after a picture is added (I just got the blank "add a cat" form after submitting my pictures).

Nice idea. I would totally love to have an option to import pics from some other websites, such as Flickr, Reddit, etc.

My suggestion: allow users to flag inappropriate photos. Only a matter time before someone uploads a dead cat pic.

Looks pretty rough on my iPad. I'm sure the normal layout would be fine if you could just mirror that.
