I like it. The categories thing is interesting and quite intuitive. I dunno about the feed being to the right, it feels slightly weird.


So there's something a bit off in the article placing, dogen noted that it could be given more space.

Do you mean to say that if the interface was to the right would be more natural to you?

Glad to hear you found it intuitive, one of the main goals when making this was to make the search more fun, and reduce the need for typing in things.

So, just out of interest, what's your part in this and which bits are your friend?

This is mostly my friend's brainchild.
He did the design, and the original idea.
Technically I mainly contributed with coding, mostly server-side stuff and some javascript.


Working at a bank for almost 5 years killed any aesthetic sense in me, so I stayed away from design.

Well more that it should be more in the centre as it now feels like it's too much to the side. But that might be helped by making the feed bigger so that the empty space is reduced.

This was discussed often, and there's very selfish reason for not adding this, neither me nor my friend don't have interest in male beauties and neither of us wanted to fill content for that category so we left it out.

You aggregate all of this stuff by hand? That sounds like a lot of work.

Thanks a bunch Dogen, you've put a lot of though into these.

I can only tell you what I like, but as a non-designer with no education or experience on the production side of web design that may amount to just making your page look like everyone else's (recognition breeds comfort, after all). So take my advice with a grain of salt.

I take even my opinions with a grain of salt...and usually a slice of lemon.

Again thanks for the feedback, it really was useful.
