Show HN: Thread.ly - a news reading and sharing app (feedback appreciated) (opens in new tab)

The news board seemed 80% from one source, BBC. Would love to see more variety. Did not really understand your rating algorithms there. Clicking on the news opened just 1 sentence of the news item. Either redirect to the full webpage or use full text scraping like Flipboard/Zite do (keeping of course copyright in mind).

Some objects you have don´t have photos and then the headline jumps to the top of the object, which is distracting.

After registering, I now have just an empty page under my first board, saying no threads found. Not sure what I should do next.

Good luck - better (big data) content discovery & personalization projects are always needed. And try to find a specific niche - it´s a very tough and coverrowded market.

EDIT: The website looks beautiful on Chrome! What tools did you use?

When I worked at Big Generic Company with a firewall blocking gmail, threadsy still worked. So I set up an account with only gmail and could use gmail in my browser. Seemed less likely to get me in trouble than installing Tor.
