Hi Guys and Girls

I'm fairly new to web development and have just pushed a new personal project of mine online (with the hope that it will help get me a job!).

In short, the site gathers news links from various news outlets (i know there are probably plenty that do something similar) including less well-known sites in the West like Al Jazeera and China CCTV News to help give a more well rounded view (if the person wants). There is then an Opinions section where signed in users can write their opinion on a news story (the story doesn't have to be from my site). All users can read the opinions regardless of whether they're a signed in user.

You're feedback would be greatly appreciated but please don't be too harsh! I'm still learning and i know there's plenty more than can/should be done especially if i get some traffic.

Thanks so much

I think the platform is good. It's simple and easy to read. The content is just RSS stuff so try to add something interesting. Checkout https://www.zublim.com. They are working really hard on getting quality content that's not just murders rapes and wars. But I think your layout is better. Without good original content nobody will use it.
