Really appreciate the feedback @ryanhoover, especially on the design of the articles/posts and one's ability to scan it. Will play around with larger font/greater contrast or perhaps a more prominent shadow underneath. Love the feedback... and product hunt too!!
@jonnotie Awwww thanks : ) We really wanted to build a beautiful window to the blogosphere and it's coming along just swell so far. :)

@rrhoover Just want to point out that this is a fine example of the great products coming from Hong Kong. Just visited @blueprint_hk space for the first time and was told about Notey. Looks like it got a great response on PH! Super pumped to see this great community building things. HONG KONG!
@nzieber@rrhoover yeah so glad to have met you and thx for supporting female founders.
Thx to your feedback and others via PH, we were some slight tweaks to the design of the feed to make it easier to browse or parse through here: http://imgur.com/LGXrBTh
We now also provide a list view to make it even easier!

Awesome feedback makes us move faster. This is why we heart product hunt. : )
@cathnotey I like the way you've categorized the seemingly infinite number of blog posts out there. I see this as a more useful tool for finding new sites I didn't know existed (not necessarily specific articles).
However, I find it difficult to scan and parse the list of articles. There's a lot going on here and arguably the most important thing, the title of the post, often clashes with the background image.
I agree. There's way too much going on here. A couple of suggestions:
- Wayyyy too much text. Eliminate the tags all together.
- The upvote/downvote mechanics are very difficult to see. They need way more contrast
- The white on a picture background is increasingly difficult to scan. I'm not entirely sure how helpful the picture is to be honest.
- Perhaps use the webpage's favicon so it's easier to identify the site
That's it. Hopefully that's useful!
This is very cool.
"Notey features the best blogs on over 500,000 topics. We've discovered and surfaced the misfits, the passionistas, the swashbucklers, the independent thinkers - the people who write about, and photograph, the Things They Love. We took a few hundred-thousand-handfuls of commonly searched for topics, and turned what's normally a tiresome process, into a simple, beautiful, and enriching experience. Whether you're searching for your next wanderlust travel adventure, tracking down a refreshing workout routine, or looking for essay-writing inspiration, Notey will guide the way. We've created the absolute best tool for browsing - just pop a keyword into our search bar, and you'll be greeted with an endless supply of posts from the best content creators out there! It couldn't be easier."
Maybe @cathnotey can answer some Q's!

Now this is a tool I didn't realize I needed. Nice work!
HI @mrakshaypatel , thanks for the feedback. Interesting perspective - if I could kindly ask: what feature or aspect of Notey is it that pleasantly surprised you or made it feel like something you needed?

@lepsoe I typically digest news and content from social networking sites (twitter) or curation apps (nuzzel). But when I have a personal or professional need to investigate a topic in more detail I think blogs are great resources so being able to get to them via your search is great.
