I know this is late, but I've actually been using the platform ever since this post. I really like it a lot, but I truly believe a "discovery" system needs to be made. Currently, only featured posts are easy to find. This makes is hard to discover new articles and the main home-page remains pretty static throughout the day.
It also has a negative impact on the number of article views. My articles that got featured on the front page have 10x-15x more views than those that do not. I know that this is normal and all sites have this, but better rotation or a way to easy see non-featured articles is a must. Maybe a way to follow some tags? The home page can be left as-is, just adding a new page "Following" would help
