Hey – Installed Fraidycat (FC) and tested with DaringFireball (DF) feed. I see it shows the DF title and links to whatever 3rd party link DF is reporting on.

Title: The Unicorns Fell Into a Ditch

Link: bloomberg article

In this example the title is pretty much meaningless so I need DF's take on the topic before I make a decision to go off and visit Bloomberg. My existing RSS feed provides DF's blog content (text).

So I just wanted to understand whether I'm missing something here, or in fact FC is doing exactly what you designed it to do; title and link to 3rd party page only. Pretty much like how Hacker News (HN) operates?

Prehaps it's just the way I personally navigate. I never click on HN titles to go to 3rd party links. I always hit the comments first. The top comments usually give me a good overview before I decide to vist the 3rd party page.

Probably FC isn't intended for me, but I just wanted to sure I'm not missing something, because I'm genuinely excited to use. Regardless, many thanks for making FC.

P.S. I love the retro look of you personal site and FC's home page.
