needs tilt and tilt/open!

Looks great, a few caveats though:

1. When you get into triple digit upvotes your padding around the description image breaks.

2. The design takes up so much vertical space. On my 13in macbook only 3 items are visible. I think it's much more comfortable to skim at 75% of it's current size.

3. Ten items per page seems like a small number. Increasing the number of items per page would be nice. Either that or have it lazy load on scroll.

Thanks for the feedback! I'll look into that. Lazy loading should be coming soon, as well as a more precise way of filtering (but still very straightforward)

Interesting to watch HN get disaggregated; DesignerNews, GamerNews, Product Hunt and now this.

Do people actually go to those? I find myself sticking to Hackernews 99% of the time.

I go to Product News and Designer News. I find that the conversations are more focused there, whereas HN discussions can go any number of different ways. That variety is very valuable, but sometimes I'd rather just read about start strategy and positioning or the design of a site.

Nice idea, but more Crowdfunding sites please.

It would be interesting if it could provide news that kickstarter keeps private just for backers.
