Any feedback is appreciated!
The next and previous buttons should not drift so far apart, they should be next to each other, close to where the next button is at the start.
It would also be nice if when you went to fastnews.me/subject it would search for the subject. You could also add a recently searched items to the right of the search for the last 3 or 5 items.
Using the website would flow better if you were to have the bullet points display on hovering over the descriptive text.
The summary algorithm seems to work pretty well, so you might want to add the functionality to use it on individual subreddits, in which you could utilize the fastnews.me/r/ to access. Although this would generate some problems since most of these would probably have to be generated by a user request I think it would be really useful.
search with /subject sounds like a good idea, i will certainly do that.
Right now I'll add more subreddits and put /r/subreddit for later as that will require bit more resources.
I'll keep tweaking the UI and keep your points in mind. Thanks again!
At the moment I can't see how old are the items – I really miss dates.
Also, pagination with Next/Prev buttons is ambiguous. Replacing the labels with Older/Newer would make it clear, in which direction in the timeline I'm moving.
I very much like the summaries. It would be great if they had unique URLs. This way I could share the URL of the story summary.
I will add dates soon, and change the button labels.
Also - an RSS feed of each category would be the icing on the cake!
RSS is next. :)
That gets lost here.
Does the animation lag, or is it annoying?
1) Full rows per article, so you can put in a longer title and the design looks the same regardless of if you are on a phone or desktop.
or...
2) Keep this layout, but use flexbox to ensure that the read more button is in the same location at all times. Truncate title length with ellipses, but let us click the ellipses to see the whole thing.
As for the animation... it's problematic on larger screens because the content has a lot of white space on the left side, and everything is centrally placed. This makes the animation appear to take different times depending on your screen size (I know, it likely technically is the same time, but that's not how our eyes see it). Inconsistent user experience is generally bad, unless it is intentionally done.
It might be better to have a side from the top, which would be consistent across all screen sizes....
I'm not sure how it works on mobile. Can we swipe left / right to see more articles? From the animation, it'd appear like we should be able to.
