Show HN: StraightUp - News at your pace

Great start on an interesting idea! One thing I noticed was the time durations when filtering by time. I'm not sure you need it going back as far as 6 months especially since filtering by importance would be next to impossible.
Thanks! People rarely go back that far, but it probably doesn't hurt to have the option in case they want to.

trying it out, first thing I notice is that when I want to add something that isn't already built in it tells me "that source is already in the collection" when it clearly isn't
Thanks for trying it out. Sounds like a bug in the collection editor. I want to improve that process to handle cases like yours -- if you don't find the feed, make it easy to look it up and add it -- but I wasn't sure that was top priority since a lot of people end up using feeds that are already in the system.

We'd appreciate any feedback, e.g. usability, whether the value proposition is compelling, etc.
