I think the feeling of 'missing something' is a false fear. If something is really good, or really popular, you will see it (like 2048). When you need inspiration you can find it. But what most people need to do (myself included) is seek inspiration less and do more work.
This seems like a muddled UX to me - either it could all be integrated/aggregated and filtered or it should be more focused to start.<p>I'd also say from the UX perspective there's a bit of an expectation that [ left side in a list right side in expanded view ] tends to denote a relationship between the two when in fact there is none.<p>Feels like an aggregator that didn't want to <i>just</i> be an aggregator. It does look pretty, though.
This might not have been the best name for a product, given the very popular Pandas[1] package that will probably win in Google.<p>[1]: <a href="http://pandas.pydata.org/" rel="nofollow">http://pandas.pydata.org/</a>
Looks nice, really like the left sidebar.<p>Since this site only works with a 5 sources at the moment, it could tell me a bit deeper info about the links it's getting, besides the title.<p>4 of 5 sources (exception being sidebar.io) feature 2 similar metadatas: # upvotes and # comments. They're important metrics for me as a browser figuring out what's important. Show these on the page (optionally?).<p>And look how much work I have to do to say, see news from HN and DN:<p>1) load page (shows HN for instance)
2) click hamburger
3) click DN icon
4) (close hamburger?)<p>If this is an aggregator, it could do more to make this my awesome news dashboard, showing content from everywhere mixed together. Maybe mix HN, DN, and sidebar (textual content, i.e. titles) in the "text list" sidebar. Your hamburger menu would hide/show these from the mix. And same with Dribble/Behance (visual content) - show them as a mix in the right side. Or just keep separate sections/columns for each source.<p>Though either way, I like the color coding to indicate what source I'm looking at, e.g. blue for DN, orange for HN.<p>There's definitely value in this, and that value is a special purpose RSS-like reader bringing similar sites into a unified happy design aesthetic with crisp UI.
The Popular/Latest buttons are a nightmare. It's only by using the 2x/1x button I realised that clicking on the button changes the view to what was previously on the button.
This is a fun little tool. I keep the "use as website" bookmarked on my toolbar. This tool actually used to be called "geisha" and the logo was of a geisha girl. IT was deemed offensive so they changed it to Panda. I personally like to use it just for inspiration before I am getting ready to do a new design. Not to copy anything, but just to get my creative juices flowing.
I already use it, but the last update with "Latest" and "Popular" switches made me a little confused. When I press "latest" button, does it switches to latests or already showing the latests? Maybe a slider switch instead of toggle switch would be more clear.<p>Also, as a non-designer user, I'd like to use designs section to see 9gag items :)<p>So, It's a great, every-day-use tool for me :)
Supernice feed that is simple for me to use. I clicked the buttons and everything seemed easy enough to understand. I don't really get some of the comments here as I find the UI easy to understand as in I clicked everything, it worked, then I understood it.same as I do for every new site I encounter..<p>(Disclaimer: Friend of one of the guy's behind this.)
I actually really like Panda but it's old news <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7386597" rel="nofollow">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7386597</a> the Geisha renaming thing was pretty high profile as far as our community goes/happened so quickly...so I dunno how it was missed
I think it's a sweet solution conceptually even if it needs a bit of work on the UI to be more intuitive. Not a designer myself, but I see the value in being able to indulge in a sort of binge scrapbooking.<p>(Disclaimer: Also a friend of one of the guy's behind this.)
Small bug: when clicking on an "Ask HN" or any HN link that just drops to the comments section, an error page [0] appears.<p>[0] <a href="http://usepanda.com/app/item?id=7743604" rel="nofollow">http://usepanda.com/app/item?id=7743604</a>
Previously seen as Geisha: <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7319937" rel="nofollow">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7319937</a><p>However they renamed due to seeing their name as belittling to female developers/designers.
