I read Quartz daily so this is awesome to see and play with, but probably too slow for daily use. Would be nice to scan all the headlines without having to press next, and then get more info about each one if you wanted to chat. Will be fun to watch how it evolves.

I've only been using this for a few minutes now but this is amazing, have there ever been any thoughts about doing something like this on the web @zseward?
Also I can't wait for an android version of the app also!
I don't honestly think this would work as well on the web in its precise form, but certainly elements of it could, and we're looking at all options, including Android.
@zseward You're right that messaging within the browser is a tough build. Alternatively, have you considered how a lot of people use iMessage on our desktops? It's honestly one of the easiest way to share and converse around specific news articles with friends.
A fresh, new approach to news consumption finally.. well done! Wonder where this can lead to..

Very cool design! Are you guys segmenting users based on which things they say 'Next' to? I'd be cool if Quartz got better and better at leading with the stories I care about most.

Yes! Finally! An INTERESTING news app!

The onboarding is truly something special. Totally reimagined what it can and should be. I can't remember exactly when onboarding ended and I started using the product. I've been thinking about onboarding screen for a while, glad to see somebody did something different with them.
Really love the conversation concept, but when I get a chat back after making the more / next selection and there's > 1 chat bubble, it's awkward to read. Too much too quickly.
