You built an app in two weeks that looks and feels like a hybrid app. Your app has 2 pages and a web browser for "Partner" sites. This app could have been built natively in 1 day each for iOS and Android, and then you would have native apps.
Of course it's ugly, its a prototype. Have you ever seen prototypes of the original iPhone and Google glass? Any developer knows you make something functional then you make it practical. If you look at the tech behind the product, it looks promising and I will definitely be watching this product evolve.
...or the inability of developers to properly demonstrate to their managers why something is needed. simply saying it makes it easier is not enough, learn to sell and spin in a way that does not make you seem lazy and you will be surprised what you can convince people to do.
What exactly is this looking for in terms of creating the sidebar? Loading your android source code and going to your site nothing appears in the navigation menu.
I like this but just something small, in api.php at line 341/345 you check if $table is articles and inside the same ifcheck you check again, the same thing is done at 412/416
} else if ($table=="articles") {
if (empty($data->article_id)) {
$this->data_object->send_response(400);
} else {
if ($table=="articles") {You must have stopped reading before "and told her about it"
I like your site. My only criticism is that there are not dates and times with anything. It would be nice to know how old a tweet is instead of assuming you are sorting from most recent to oldest.
Functionally I also cannot seem to scroll to the bottom of the tweets, and I would fix the loading on the main page. The news articles are loading on the left side of the screen and then shifting to the center.
About 6 months ago I built a really sweet computer, put Windows 8 on it, and I barely touch it. Since I do iOS dev I also have a mac, and I find myself always using that even when I am not developing. I am even doing my Android dev on it. I liked Windows 7, but 8 I have not liked.
Agreed remove the member only stuff. I went to your site, clicked and found only member stuff and that I needed to signup and bounced.
