ah I see, sorry if the title was misleading.


Really? Just tested again and it worked fine. Sorry about that. @ me on twitter @jrlevine if you're still willing to give feedback.


I just filled it out again and it worked. I think I got hosed because you changed the survey while I was taking it. :)


hah, my bad! thanks again for doing it.


wow, good call. late night oversight. edited the survey.


That section should have radio buttons for the rows, not checkboxes.


I wouldn't lump HN, Reddit and "Other" together since Reddit is widely read with impressive traffic. It is a significant news site.


google reader and tons of blogs and sites


and here's the smarter answer from @tolar: Geofencing typically relies on cell tower changes, a coarser measure of location than GPS, but one that saves on battery life.


I've been using it for the last few weeks and it's really not bad. Eager to hear your experience with it — jake [at] news.me


Cool idea. For now we just support one location, but you can make that location whatever you want (home, office, etc.)


I second creativityhurts; You should really implement this feature, guys.


So the short story is that we're using geofencing to download news content in the background when you leave your preset "Home" location. Super useful for subway commuters. Kudos to @tolar, iOS developer and subway rider extraordinaire for coming up with it and building it in a weekend.


best website ever


well articulated!

Totally agree with you.
