I like the concept. though I think the layout needs a bit of work though. I would want to be able to see a bit more information in the presentation in a final product, maybe decouple the navigation from the feed so the size of the views aren't tied to the size of the timeline bubbles. It would be an interesting navigational element though.

Also it seems to crash entirely when I post an empty form. Which is no big deal since it's a mockup but still..

Thanks for your suggestions, I wasn't aware of that crash, thanks for the heads up!

timeline: like! i wish more news sites presents history in a straightforward manner colors: not so much; not meaning & some combi are hard to read; favicon/logo/color-scheme-based-on-logo will be more useful http: if the form method is "GET", then I can easily share or bookmark for updates later text: some body text will be nice

Thanks for your suggestions, hoping to get all of these sorted out over the next week or so :)

Trying to find open API's with quality content is a bit tricky though - so that could be the breaking of this project!
