I know you grapple day-in-day-out with the same thought: why isn't News sexy? I mean, look at Weather. Weather has Dark Sky, Solar, and even Yahoo Weather has stepped up their game. These apps have simple UI and a beautiful useful-feel-good polish.
And then, we have News. News is like Cinderella...if Cinderella never actually met her fairy godmother. News is like Trump, if Trump.....no wait, News is like Trump, period. You read on with unwitting curiosity and are yuuuge-sigh-of-relief thankful when it's over. Yup, News -- the only thing older than Larry King -- is still an infamous blob of text, transferred from print to web to mobile to the entirely revolutionary Apple News (gasp!).
Fear not, our non-communist comrade, Coverstory is here. Coverstory is a mobile take on News. Imagine there was no News up to this day, and all we did was live in the moment and spend more time with friends and family. I know, terrible. We put ourselves in that mindset for many a days and gave birth to Coverstory: News that is for mobile by mobile (we pace a lot in our office).
To put aside this seriousness with more seriousness: we need your feedback on the UX! Hacker News is the first public community to gain access to Coverstory, and we appreciate all you have to say. (It is iOS only, I know I know...).
