I am using the chrome extension - and it works well, beautifully designed. Great concept that I like - all in one place for the most recent news stories. BTW, here's a link to the app: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/...

love this, thanks for posting. For the past year, I've been doing the same with my weekly newsletter 'what happened last week?' (whathappenedlastweek.com), TL;DR-ing the 10 most important news of each week. Would love getting some feedback!

@sham_jaff great idea!!! i had a similar idea and i even bought domain name aday.com (for $40k) to do your idea... but daily! i.e. oprah.aday.com, howardstern.aday.com, reipe.aday.com -- haven't had time to get to it.

@jason amazing idea, great execution. If I can only offer my opinion on the design, the font, photos and the way that it's set up it reminds my brain of the paid for articles that people adds into their blogs and makes me glance over it and not pay close attention. Personally I would like it if it's organized in a new way, that my brain doesn't relate it with something out there, sort of like a cross between reddit and medium! if that makes any sense.

@emivelazquez6 i had that same reaction. I would like it to be just a list of headlines w/thumbnail like hackernews. I think the team is going to make 3 different layouts and let you choose in 2.0 -- at least that's what i'm asking for!!! ray? lon? adam? thoughts?

@emivelazquez6 Yeah we're playing with the design ideas right now. The 2 you mentioned (reddit & medium) have totally different vibes though. Do you prefer one over the other. Would love everyone's feedback on that, so we can make v2 even better.

@emivelazquez6 we've been talking about a few other ideas internally, one very vocal segment wants an entire text-based layout (no images). I've been thinking of something like finder, where you could change the size of the images with a slider

@adamdill @emivelazquez6 I think images are a very important element of a news app. You only have to look to the fact that images and videos trend better on social networks to see that people typically have a preferences for images or images with text than text alone. That said I do like the idea of being able to adjust the image size with a slider.

I'm with @mishachellam on this: to me, the fact that @jason not only stayed up to post this, but is doing feedback AMA-style, underscores his palpable interest in journalism. The former (sometimes current) journalist in me loves that; additionally, I love that there's now seemingly an addition to Inside's app, I'll need to check out this one in the morning. I suppose one question I have that I'm always curious about is your view of where journalism is going in the next decade or so. You touch on a variety of mediums in your own work (blog posts, podcasts, video casts, etc.) and I'm curious as to which of these you feel have been the most beneficial (beneficial in this case might mean something other than sheer numbers; could mean which medium(s) do you feel have made your journalism better).

@adammarx13 great questions.... 1. I love investigative journalism because it's important.... and no one does it no more. Frontline is my favorite. I dream of buying Frontline and running it. I love how they took on the NFL recently... just amazing work. 2. I love podcasting because anyone can do it -- and if you keep doing it you might actually build a huge audience (I did!). 3. I love events as a way of building community. 4. I love email newsletters 5. I love curation So many ways to make journalism work, but it's so noisy and hard right now. You need to also have a growth and high/low (i.e. fun) strategy.... which is what I'm experimenting with here. How fun can we make the news, while sneaking in the important stuff. We'll find out I guess!

@jason @adammarx13 Thanks for taking time to answer! As per your responses.. 1. I agree that investigative journalism has taken a hit in the last decade or so, but also think that there are a lot of promising writers taking on bigger stories right now solo, able to do things basically on their own sweat which would have been so much more difficult to do before without the aid of a big publisher. To me, that's one of the best things I'm seeing lately. 2. Discovered the same dynamic on my college radio show (arguably a form of podcasting)! (Smaller audience too, I assume ha). 3. This is a big thing for me, and I could see it was for you as well. I was at LAUNCH back in March and really liked the way you ran your interviews, particularly your ones with Fred Wilson and Chris Sacca. Definitely an extension of the dynamic you have on your podcasts (complete with riffing!) which made them equally as entertaining as informative. Interesting approach regarding "fun" (but informative" news; I'll be interested to see how this works out, especially as it begins (hopefully) to carve out its own brand beside Inside. Thanks again for the AMA (and for the patince at a long set of questions)!

@jason can you make this into a Telegram bot? I'm an Android user and I'd love to get this kind of content asap.

Guys @jason, @raydawg88, @adamdill, @lons, great work on this. As I told Ray last week after seeing the preview at LAUNCH, love the name and the concept. We are a TL;DR generation for sure. The team definitely deserves some sushi. Maybe you guys should have an Inside team Recurrency page, I'll chip in $5 toward the sushi lunch! cc: @brianalvey A few ideas: 1) Slack integration for the editor's choice/breaking news. 2) I think it would be interesting to add some of the descriptions/quick summaries to the chrome tab version like are on the app/site version. Maybe just select ones or the breaking/top news one, or maybe there's a hover/button to just show the summary without clicking to the article? 3) Per some of the discussion above, I think a top 3-5 news "you need-to-know" pieces from the day before would be an interesting add. @Jason AMA ?'s- 1) How often do you play poker? Who has more of the other guy's $, you or @chamath? 2) What was the coolest startup you saw at Smashd labs on your visit yesterday? @Raydawg88 @adamdrill @lons 1) What was the funniest comment you got back from "grandma" when you sent out the earliest inVision prototype of TL;DR to friends and fam?
