1.) You never set background-color. Not setting background-color results in unintended consequences on any browser configured to have a default other than the expected white background. A good example in your case is visited links become grey on grey (assuming a browser with grey default background).<p>2. You need to be cautious of and properly handle notorious webspam&#x2F;blogspam regurgitation sites like &quot;recode.net&quot;:<p>&quot;Wal-Mart Scammed Into Selling PlayStation 4 for $90&quot; <a href="http://recode.net/2014/11/19/wal-mart-scammed-into-selling-playstation-4-for-90/" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;recode.net&#x2F;2014&#x2F;11&#x2F;19&#x2F;wal-mart-scammed-into-selling-p...</a><p>Which leads to:<p><a href="http://www.cnbc.com/id/102197050" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.cnbc.com&#x2F;id&#x2F;102197050</a><p>Which leads to:<p><a href="http://consumerist.com/2014/11/18/terrible-people-create-fake-amazon-pages-convince-walmart-to-price-match-them/" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;consumerist.com&#x2F;2014&#x2F;11&#x2F;18&#x2F;terrible-people-create-fak...</a><p>Which leads to:<p><a href="http://kotaku.com/people-are-scamming-walmart-with-bogus-cheap-ps4-listin-1660150939" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;kotaku.com&#x2F;people-are-scamming-walmart-with-bogus-che...</a><p>Finding the original source can be a PITA, but it&#x27;s still much better than rewarding spam regurgitation sites with traffic.<p>3.) Having a &quot;sign in&quot; icon link on every single article listing looks odd. Is it the default replacement for some voting mechanism that&#x27;s only available to logged-in users?<p>4.) Grey text on a white background is common fare on the web (including hn) to de-emphasize some text, but it&#x27;s a poor design decision in terms of accessibility. People with even minor visual impairments (i.e. poor vision) have difficulty reading grey text on white backgrounds.<p>All in all, it looks interesting. Good Luck With It!

I&#x27;m curious why you chose the categories that you did. Why focus on business&#x2F;tech instead of having a broader focus on more mainstream current event news?

The quality of the curation, at least for my taste and at least at this moment, is exceptional. Maybe the best algorithmic curation I&#x27;ve seen.<p>I&#x27;m curious what inspired you. There are many algorithmically curated news feeds; why add another? Is it because you believe your algorithm is a leap forward? Elsewhere you say it&#x27;s mostly the same one used by HN.<p>Regardless, it works well for me. Thank you!

I would consider following the site if categories had RSS feeds.

Where and how do you get your news? How do you order them? And why only 30 in each category?<p>Other than that, nice design. Bookmarked, will see. Btw, I guess comments would be nice.

When you add more topics, I would pay for API access to get an hourly list of popular stories in each topic. If this is ever added please let me know :-)

Categories are too generic in my opinion. I would love to have smaller categories like &quot;programming&quot;, &quot;unix&quot; and etc.

Where does your social network data come from? Twitter? Does the popularity depend on how many people are sharing the links?

I wish you could combine topics, example: Design + Tech News.

Do you plan to offer custom topics or search in the future?

How do you define &quot;relevance&quot;?
