Fact checking is what makes this different

I was able to spend 5 minutes on this site and get more valuable information than I would have gotten if I'd spent an hour watching the news or two hours searching and curating…

I could see this becoming my primary source of news. My main problem with mainstream news sources is that they're filtered. This would be a great way of keeping up with what's…

I really like the idea of the site, it's an idea I've toyed with a lot myself and I think you've done a decent job but I think there are few usability issues: Can't signup…

I like it. Feature request. Allow me to add a reference when I "Confirm" it

I'm having trouble viewing the page. I've successfully signed up and in, but the newsfeed hangs (blank page): http://api.grasswire.net/v1/newsfeeds All javascript etc. is also…

Chrome/Linux 35.0.1916.153 (Official Build 274914) TypeError: Cannot read property 'left' of undefined page is empty

going through the tutorial, once I clicked on the world cup it is a blank page. Load related I expect. Very interesting concept though. You just need that critical mass of fact…

No tweets showing up. But yay otherwise! :)

Like the idea, a lot, but I'm missing text. Maybe a small header text telling the core news of the item (and with more text than a typical tweet). And also articles instead of…

No worries :) Sure I can list off a few more things: - The videos under the bar seem to have consistently low resolution thumbnails, maybe try making them a bit smaller (to a…

This really needs a "disturbing content ahead" warning on the parts of the site that have graphic images. I really don't expect to see decapitated bodies when I randomly click a…

When tweets start coming in it becomes very annoying when I'm trying to read a tweet and it keeps pushing it lower and lower and I have to keep scrolling down to read it only to…

Some comments and bugs: - The videos in the live stream are all really unappealing (not the content but the way they're presented), there should really be titles or comments or…

Exactly my though as well, a 'quick catch up' for each topic would be very useful.

In theory we aren't pulling in any content that qualifies as "disturbing" from Twitter. In practice you're absolutely right. Will get on that.

I don't think anyone's suggesting filtering out that content, but having a warning that there may be some disturbing images seems fair and we will likely put that on the site…

Please add an SSL cert to this so traffic to and from can't be eavesdropped on (as easily.)

This is interesting. How is it determined what goes on the front page? Also, the lack of animation when moving the mouse off of an item is a bit jarring compared to when the…

Frrole[1] tried a similar thing through their endeavor Frrole News [1]. Instead of manual fact-checking, they relied on Twitter data. They developed very advanced ML algos to…

This seems to happen a lot. Someone makes a wicked way to consume the news, but cant find a way to monetize it other than pivot into social analytics or premium content…

Jay Rosen's idea of "explainer" [1], implemented for instance by Vox's cardstacks, might help here. [1]…
