Super duper proud of this app and the team. I can also confirm that the team has even more cool features/ideas for this and are already hard at work on designing and building those. Buckle up, Internets.

Congratulations on the launch - the native rendered tweets mixed into the news feed are gorgeous.

I've been patiently awaiting the launch while following @s_m_i's tweets! Congrats on shipping News App team! :D

This looks good !

Two things. It's been a blast designing this. And we're hiring – come build with us! buzzfeed.com/jobs Our crackerjack team ruminates and GIFs over at #teamnewsapp! https://twitter.com/hashtag/team... Stay tuned, there's exciting work on the roadmap coming your way.

What important considerations go into designing a truly mobile-first news experience? Did you make any comprises?

Really like the the Top Stories catchup - wish I could click into those stories directly from there. Also, nice job on the alerts.

I've been playing with this for the last half-hour and it's looking really promising. They've done some really thoughtful things about making it not only incredibly simple to get the latest news, but share that with others as well. It's really a nice front-end for their stellar news work they're doing and a good home that actually surfaces that for people to read. I think this gives them far better ways to get their news in front of people vs their homepage. I've even enabled push notifications! Great work!
