I like the content selection, but I'm not a fan of the design. Also, for inexplicable reasons, the website uses a lot of bandwidth when it's open in my browser.

thanks for the feedback. Do you have a good site-design in mind from another site? Totally open for change, right now just a quick (bootstrap) draft that works on web- and mobile with viewtext-integration. Looking into the bandwith problem right now...thanks again!

I don't like that the buttons appear only on hover, and that they hide the headline. I usually move the mouse wherever I'm currently looking at the screen, and then the text suddenly disappears... not good.

I like that the headlines are big, and I like the pictures of the authors (but they are distorted).

I see that your flexible layout doesn't really look good at any width (in Safari). Flexible layouts are a lot of work to get right. Maybe you should start a fixed width layout. Many blogs now use a simple one-column layout, around 600px wide, with large text (14-16px).

Such a simple fixed width layout works surprisingly well on mobile, without any adjustments at all.

Nice collection of stories.

The photos on the main feed are stretched on my phone, making everyone's head look extra wide.

I actually really like this. Great work
