I think it is great! My ownly grief is, while scrolling in the accordion, I loose the minimize btn at the top... perhaps make those titles and + / - btns sticky? So if you have an abundance of sidebar content, a user may easily minimize that information once more. I also noticed you have categories, yet no category tags on your Article Details page... I think this would be pretty useful for your users to click through to the entire category from here, and it would make browsing a bit more smooth. So far, it looks really great from a UI perspective!

I love the tag input. Let's tackle that soon!

Looks very clean. One thing I would improve is the layout when reading an article. Having further reading on the right is useful, but takes up too much space, and makes the main focus, the actual content, too cramped and difficult to read. I would make further reading a little smaller, and have latest news on the left be minimized by default.

Yes, we'll improve on this soon, as well as better navigation. Thanks!

We just launched a new feature, videos. Videos are always matched with an article, based on context. Check it out! Many more features in the works. Also incredibly excited by a partnership we'll announce soon.

This is amazing. Clean design and I like it. Further Reading is useful +1 However, the scrolling is not smooth enough on Chrome / Firefox. Fine on Safari though. Looking forward to more Sources especially non-English like Traditional Chinese :)

This site is really great. It's a pleasure to read the news. It appears the scrolling is slow because of some images are very hi-res.
Re:Show HN: Smarter, better news for everyone by logotype on Thursday December 18, 2014 @02:23AM (#8766351)
This has now been fixed. We only show lower resolution images now.

Agree, traditional chinese is a interesting field of research currently. We are looking into it and see some possible solutions.

The clean design and smooth little animations give a great UX, yet it's clean and keeps the focus on the content. Looking forward seeing this product evolving.

It looks great and cool. And it's quite useful for me. I like the "Further Reading" column which really helps to explain more.
Re:Show HN: Smarter, better news for everyone by logotype on Thursday December 18, 2014 @02:24AM (#8766354)
Thanks :) We've spent a lot of time on this feature, and we'll launch many more "cards" soon.

Seems really interesting. I have just spent a while on it and see great potential in this!
