Show HN: A minimal feed reader that uses ML to streamline your reading list

Users can mark items as liked/disliked, and the app will not show the user new items it thinks they won't want to read. It's done on a per-user basis, i.e. my preferences won't affect your reading list and vice versa. It's built on Rails.
It would be great to get some feedback about layout and marketing copy if anyone has any.
We'd be happy to go into more detail if you have any questions about any aspect of the project.
Also the font for the article title is HUGE and why is it not a link to the article?
I don't like that the way it shows that an article is read is by making the "Mark as read" button pressed in.
You don't have any social sharing stuff - people are going to want that.
I think you should have keyboard shortcuts for like/dislike so people can zoom through their feeds going nope-nope-yep.
There's no unread count.
There's no indication of how old an article is.
Also I don't know if it was trying to download every article from every one of my feeds or something but it maxed out my internet connection for a couple of minutes.
As far as marketing copy goes, I found "Free during beta No credit card required or commitment." scary. Who would pay for a beta? It feels like you're thinking about money before I've even had the opportunity to see if your product is any good. There are a lot of feed readers out there right now and a lot of them are free or cheap, so it's got to be GOOD for me to consider cracking the piggy bank.
