I'm gonna give some first time use feedback/thoughts stream of consciousness. It's gonna be brutal so take it or leave it.

The pop-up modals are very annoying and persistent. A long tutorial before using a news aggregator, really? I have to read a FAQ? Ok, close that and see what it is first. Oh no, another pop-up.

Why ask me if I want to install it if I haven't even gotten to try it yet, really jumping the gun.

Interface is good, great concept. The anonymous commenting seems nice.

The link to read today's stories makes me think that that's the only way to get to the stories, but when i click it it just scrolls me down 50 pixels. Thanks I guess.

The story feed sometimes takes a while to load and looks kinda blank.

I scroll down see about 5 stories and all of a sudden I'm on summaries about the most commented and viewed stories. Where's my doom scrolling, lol.

Again, I'm being overly harsh but I think these things are barriers to first time users.

My experience is that usually users don't give me good feedback and they kinda just keep it in.
