What am I supposed to be doing with it? What am I supposed to be getting from it? Admiring some design work or absorbing useful information? The aesthetic is there, but the utility? Nonexistent. This isn't how you present this type of data to a consumer. It isn't consumption-friendly.
Some of the text in the smaller bubbles are illegible. Also, is it possible to prevent the collision of a few bubbles from causing everything on the screen to move?
Hey, thanks for the feedback! I'm the lead designer on this project. Gravity probably won't replace Google Reader just yet. Out goal was to create a fun experience, show off a little bit of our network, and listen to feedback – feedback that we might use to drive the design and features of potential future Disqus products.
Except I can't figure out how Gravity would be useful at all. I can't, for example expand the "tech" section.
