I like it. Its very useful but the news sources are the most common sites. You need to add more of the less common sites and the sites that are first to bring the latest news. Cointelegraph is one of the sites that bring them last lol.

I would increase the contrast on the items in your navbar. They're pretty hard to distinguish against the background, especially those buttons on the very top right corner.

Thanks for your feedback, now we are parsing near 6000 rss feeds, It's more sites then I ever know :) We have international sites, country sites and also city sites. If you know some new rss feeds, we would be greatful if you could please add them using our form: New rss feed (https://bittrends.io/feeds/add). Yes, that's true Cointelegraph has some disadvantages :) but we have to parse it too, to get complete data.

If you can place each fetched news/tweets in a box (like how most news websites do), it significantly improves the overall experience (include their thumbnails [not only avatars] and only use few words as its description).
  • Place them both horizontally & vertically (instead of using a single line for each).

Do you mean to make topic box, with titles and thumbnails of all news in current topic, or just get first news in topic and make topic box with it instead single line?

I believe the first part of your question is what I was suggesting earlier (just to be sure, here's a "mock-up (https://imgur.com/a/bkRcqSi)").

I get it, it would be really nice looking. Thanks for idea!

This is not the latest version of the site design. We are making some new abilities of our service. As soon as we can maximize it, we will proceed to design. Thanks for advice. :)

Are you only displaying information about the number of retweets on the Trends page?
Would it be possible to also incorporate other social media networks there?

The same should be possible with Steemit and Facebook perhaps?

Searching and displaying tweets was quite simple, thats why we incorporated Twitter first. Ofcourse we are working on adding other social networking sites, and soon it will be in public release. Thanks for your question :)

We've completed training our model with special cryptocurrency news data, we were collecting corpus near 4 month. Still alpha, but more performance in semantic similarity calculation...
