Not bad, but you should hire a good ui designer.. this all is a pain. Also, when I look at item summary (http://klipperapp.com/#item=2b6701a481a877ee59abc40cfb9f9f61) - there are no breaks and paragraphs.. Very hard to read.

Other thing is speed. I guess that you're fetching feeds for every user request. You should think about caching and return precached results only or server will die with big amount of visitors.


Its been running for over 6 months :), ended up being a side project. We are running tokyo tyrant (disk based), so that has slowed down over time. Will tune that up!

As for the breaks and paragraphs, planning to add more logic when lines are picked up from different para. Thanks for the feedback!


What's the best way to hire a UI guy/gal to jazz up a site? Where to find them?


You can look on https://dribbble.com/ . They have a 'search by skills' feature here https://dribbble.com/skills



Sure, there have been a few apps and new algos in this space over the recent times. Though, we firmly feel that we have something that performs better and potentially open to more improvements due to the underlying algo!
