Really awesome feedback everyone! Jack Suave fixed a ton of stuff already.

We want this to be flawless before launch so all the comments and details are great :)

Isn't that what the title is?
Yes, but I feel that the picture captures the eye more. The main issue I have is with websites sending notifications with the picture (I am not sure if you plan on setting up a new notification system). On some devices the text might not show due to the picture and it renders smartwatches useless since one must click on the notification instead of just glancing at the screen.

How do you plan on tagging expired deals? Someone's gotta sift through it all...

From all the existing content? I don't think it needs to be done for those posts.

Unless they let people (DDFers?) mark posts as expired, something like RTM. It would have to be moderated, of course, but might help somewhat.


I'll gladly volunteer some time to go through posts now, and mark as expired or current

No. Why does it have to be? Just need the most recent 30 or so posts to be up to date.

ETA: thanks for the offer! I just don't think it's something that's needed.

There's gotta be some relevant deals/posts. For example: sapphire reserve or amex plat travel credits, the latest info on different cards like the citi post from July

Then they will show up even when you hide "expired" deals.

So why not only mark the old "deal" posts as expired?
Workflowy. You won't know what you're missing until you try it.

Because I don't care about citi's rules from before their new policy, or chase churability pre 5/24 days

In mobile, there should be an option in the sidebar for home. As opposed to having to click on the DD logo, usually by mobile to get back to the home page the have a button in the menu, clicking the logo is only for desktop sites.

agree.
When you swipe from the left, you can choose a category. The only way back us to go back to the home screen via the dd logo. Intuitively i think you should be able to swipe from the left and unchoose the selection, or choose 'all topics.

Oh, and nice work.

We did request nested comments. What do people think about disqus in general?
I like it with other blogs, on mobile it get's more messy though, but it's still nicer

Eh...You want every person who's searching the wrong dates/on the wrong site/putting in tge wrong code to have access to that button? DDMS commentators often report deals dead when they are alive and kicking, simply due to ignorance or mistakes.
Memories last forever, make them while you can.

The simple answer is no, but if he get's it 10 times then yes

What's the logic behind having the menu twice (desktop)?

Why have the tabs twice? Keep just the smart tabs at the top. See attached
