kirkouimeton Show HN: A New Approach to RSS (Our iOS App Was Approved Today)

Thanks for the feedback (and for your time to download the app and to try it out)! Here is what we are thinking:

1. Make sure people like our approach to RSS (market validation)

2. Make the web client amazing (browse.im)

3. Make an Android app

4. Make a Mac OS X app

5. Make a Windows 8 app

Right now the experience is very much iPad/iPhone only. We have a prototype web reader available here: http://browse.im/browse

Being a heavy RSS user - how do you feel about the approach to RSS we have taken in the app? Do you like seeing original content and jumping from full story to full story? Any usability feedback at this point is super helpful.

Thanks again!
