TextChannels is a social news aggregator with 4 twists:

1. Peer-review of posts

All posts are blindly reviewed by at least 2 subscribers of the channel. This helps ensure the quality and relevance of whatever is posted:

2. User-created channels

Instead of having a fixed number of subsections, users create, customize and moderate our channels.

3. Tweakable algorithms

You can tune the algorithm that selects the ordering of the "Top news" section of your channel:

4. More than just upvotes

Voting for comments is more complex than in most news aggregators. Instead of having a simple up/down button, readers can vote for multiple parameters (e.g. funny, useful etc).
