Critique: The summaries, while amusing, all seem to end partway through on an ellipsis. Why aren't the chaos index signals clickable? The futurism bar also has broken links.
I am Japanese. I want to share a well-known Japanese idea: 人は見た目が9割 ("people are judged 90% by appearance"). It is ironic because it goes against our common sense that substance should matter more than appearance. The intention of this idea is to emphasize the importance of first impressions.
I think the AIDMA model is still relevant. I've seen similar dashboards elsewhere, but FUBAR Daily's design keeps me coming back.
Hallucinations galore, the 'daily digest' provided me with this gem: "Apple's supposedly revolutionary $1,199 MacBook Neo is getting schooled by $500
Windows machines that do basically the same thing without the premium"
There is no way to build a Macbook Neo for $1,199 and this is obviously snarky, auto-generated slop.
I visit HN from RSS feed. Articles are listed on my feed, but I have to click through to really read anything-—there is no summary in the RSS feed.
So I could visit HN directly and prolly save a step. But in truth, I like having one place to go. And here I’ve collected and curated all the places I like to visit. And I find it much better than using bookmarks.
Which is all a lot to say that I’d be more likely to return to visit this site if it had an RSS feed.
Obviously, part of the charm of the site is the telemetry and data widgety bits (weather, stock ticker) which are mixed in with newsy and fun bits (I love the quotes). But I can tell you with all honesty, if I make a bookmark for this site, it’s going into a sea of links.
RSS isn’t just for consuming site data without dealing with the design cruff. It’s also good as a bookmark.

Nice work.

Feedback: It looks like geolocation for anonymous "FUBARS" is based on IP, but the weather widget uses the browser geolocation API.
