Backspaces (http://backspac.es). It's the app you're looking at it with. If you want to be more specific about what makes it unclear I would love if you emailed me at dmitri at backspac.es and let me know.

Hey, I hope you see this. The reason it's unclear is that it's difficult to differentiate between the screenshots, and the text that makes up your story. The hipmunk screenshot is the best example of this: your story is white text on a black background, which is exactly the same as the screenshot. When skimming (and skimmers gonna skim), it's pretty hard to notice the story text.

The other part that's confusing is that sometimes the story text is on top of the images, and other times it's in a rounded-corner box that looks very similar to the image--in other words, is the text part of your story, or is it a screenshot/photo?

Thanks. I totally see it. Will have a think on alternative designs.
