Nice work releasing! There were two things I thought could use some improvement. First were the two images of a list of hyperlinks that look clickable. I tried clicking on the links to no avail thinking they were broken, only to realise I was clicking on an image. The two images in particular are the News Sections and Newsmakers images on the homepage. The second point was that I initially couldn't figure out how to access the service. I had to click on "Read the U.S. edition" which sounded like a sub-section of the site, not the main news aggregator service. What threw me off was the website slogan of "Daily news from around the world", I was trying to find the rest the news, not just the U.S. edition. If this is the only option right now, it could possibly just say "Read the News". Take this with a grain of salt though as I am not a U.S. citizen, so I might not be your current target audience right now. |

We heard this privately from a couple of other people as well. We'll definitely look into making the Features section a lot less ambiguous.

Yes, I agree that we haven't made it very prominent that the U.S. edition news is at https://www.newshound.co/editions/en-us/.

The U.S. edition actually has a World news section that has a comprehensive collection of global news stories. https://www.newshound.co/editions/en-us/#news-section-world

We're looking for feedback from non-U.S. citizens on which other news editions they would like to see. For example, we've come up with Canada, UK, Europe, Africa, India and Japan as geographical areas that could have news editions but we'd rather work on what our readers want than what we think they want.
