Comment on NewsBlur: A feed reader with intelligence

Comments

Very impressive, the UI stuff has clearly been thought about. At the same time, I found it a bit confusing. Also, landing straight in the app is cool, but it doesn't tell me how it's different, so I don't know why I would spend the time to figure it out.

It seems to have a lot of mysterious features like "instafetch" and "intelligence trainer" and stuff.

I guess I'm saying that my first impression is that it looks nice but complicated, like there's the promise of great stuff there but it seems like it would be hard to figure out. Compare with Google in the early days: great technology, crazy fast, but all that tech is hidden in the background and you don't see that, you just see the search box and the results.

Perhaps you've been too enamored with the cool/powerful features and haven't focused enough on keeping it simple?

But definitely awesome!
