Thank you.

Hey @Readlad
I'm not sure what this MVP is about, my concern is that I'm automatically taken to a "newsfeed" but I don't know why I should use your service.
What's different about you? Why should I even give you my email address? How are you different from the likes of Flipboard per se?
The point of an MVP isn't so much to test functionality but as much as to test if there's a viable user out there for your product.
At this stage your MVP does not appear to answer any questions, as much as it leaves the potential user with many questions.
My recommendation: answer why I should use your product? what's the value proposition of your product? why are you different than the competition?
Wish you the best of luck
OK,
So, it does have the following category feature. I guess I need to mention that in the home page. You're right about MVP, I wanted to know before I even spend more time on this project.
Thank you.
I hate the auto pop-up to register, keeps popping up like 20 times when trying to view this site. A lot of white empty space. Seems too board. If I want stocks and business news I go elsewhere, if I want video-games news, I go elsewhere. This seems like news for everything which a lot of topic I do not care about.
OK, perhaps the popup needs to be removed. I'm assuming you didn't log in and use the service. When you follow categories your content is narrowed down. When users are not logged in, it shows the latest content (posted).
Please note: it's new but we're in the development pf making an API for publishers.
I was a lurker on Indie Hacker for a year before signing up because I found value and some interest. Just my personal opinion, if the front page looks more like Reddit with your spin on it, would be more appealing.
So, include more content?
no just means your design is terrible
Interesting. I'll give it a go.
If you're interested in getting more feedback and adding a nice widget on your website, you can try out feedier.com! :)
I don't see how this can work.
News aggregators are everywhere. I have to ask: Why would anyone use this service? (It's not a dig, it's a sincere question). What's the value prop?
My advice would be to either to limit the site to a very specific, hard to track news niche -- which is unexploited, or to first build a community.
It's entirely a news platform. It's more about socializing on behalf of article content. I want to allow users to interact with other users based on articles.
I might need to mention that.
It appears that this is what you want, the point of your MVP is to the see if that’s what your users want.
The second the user lands on your page, tell them why they want your product, how it’ll be useful to them, and why they can’t get it anywhere else.
You’re almost there, just implement a few points from our feedback. You’ll get it.
OK, I might need to plan it out and somehow present it to them.
Thank you.
what's the core value proposition. Dont take me wrong but i dont see the value that u provide which i dont get else were. Please make that more clear on the site.
Isn't following your favorite niches in different places in one place providing some value?
then i guess ur niches is not clear enough. with the few minutes i spend on the site. i felt its financially related site but the niches was not clear. are u abt tax saving or bonds related or inside scoops or crypto or exclusive content ?? what the niches and i don't have favourites in niches. Niches related directly to need that why they are so profitable. if u nail a niches idea that like money making machine.
