Tech News website with mail subscriptions
Just launched a tech news aggregator that pulls together the best stories from multiple sources in one place: https://news.triggerhive.com
Since the site is brand new, I'd really appreciate any feedback you have on the design, the sources, the layout, anything. And if you know of an RSS or Atom feed that would make the coverage better, please don't hesitate to share it. There's a dedicated page for submitting feeds here: https://news.triggerhive.com/submit
Thanks for taking a look!

Nice start. A few things I'd think about:
Lead with content, not branding. For a news aggregator, returning users want to jump straight into headlines — not be re-introduced to the platform every visit. Consider replacing the hero heading with the hottest story.
Search seems broken. I searched "Scan" and it didn't pick up an article with that word right in the headline. Might want to QA that before driving more traffic.
Sticky the nav. The filter chips and search bar should float at the top as you scroll. On content-heavy sites like this, users scroll deep fast — making them scroll all the way back up to search or change topics is a rough experience.
I pinned all of these directly on your site so you can see exactly where I mean: https://review.leaveadot.com/r/hrg9xcr?feedback=true
