In awe

Years ago, I used a website called stumbleupon, it was a website of essentially the exact same function. At some point it was purchased or merged and disappeared with the snap of a finger. Every year since I’ve longed to have that website back. I used it everyday, it filled my mind with possibilities and curiosity, showing me the coolest, weirdest, most fascinating things as well as things I’d already had an interest in. I’m realizing now something I hadn’t truly appreciated:

I was mourning the death of a website.

Bizarre, but real.

Occasionally I’d search for it on Google, just to see if she’d return, but to no avail.

Then today, I became fed up with social media. It’s exploitation, it’s reduction of us all to base instincts and convenient, marketable boxes. It’s so grotesque, and I hate some of the things it’s done to me. So I searched yet again for stumbleupon, this time in the App Store.

And what I found… was MIX.

It’s too good to be true, no ads, no popularity-hungry profiles, no lowest common denominators, no garbage, it’s just pure intrigue and fun. I’m so grateful I found it.

My heart is so full, but it’s also sad. Because everything that has a beginning has an end.

How long will this app exist in its perfect state before it’s sold or deactivated or both? No one knows. Could be years, months, weeks, or days. I guess the only thing I can do is Enjoy it while it lasts. Thank you MIX team.

Almost..

StumbleUpon needed to be redone. It was designed to an older style of internet and honestly couldn’t keep up when websites started to flood in. Mix managed to make a more streamlined process for a wider variety and more organized system of websites but lacks any real usability. Isn’t an intuitive app. The explore/share/profile tabs are just strange choices. Share and profile aren’t pages, they’re options and settings. So nest “share” within each post as just a share button.. and profile should just be hidden in the top corner somewhere. Your explore page needs to be redone as well. Why do I have to view by specific interests? Why isn’t there just an endless way to scroll once I’ve set my interests? The way you introduce catagories was strange as well. “Science”?? And then if you select one of this vague topics and later check your subcategories, it breaks it out into tiny subcategories like nasa and psychology.. but those are vastly different. Maybe make the bottom tabs “explore” (to just scroll and have an algorithm slowly learn what people like and recommend new categories to like) and another tab called “topics” or “genre” “categories” whatever. Maybe a 3rd way to view too. Definitely keep the list/grid option in explore. Anyways still better than stumbleupon so I definitely plan on continuously using the app, I just wish it didn’t fight me

Yet another failed attempt to fix something not broken

StumbleUpon was a great app that was simple and to the point. You pick categories, you press a button, you read an article that was it. Mix has somehow found a way to complicate this process. From the non descriptive category list to the multiple clicks needed to read an article it is a poor replacement for what was a great platform in StumbleUpon. From what I can see there is no way to view a list of all available categories which is frustrating because all they provide is what is suggested to you based on what your initial category selection was at the time of sign up. This means no discovering new topics or branching out into different interest from time to time. This app focuses to much on the social media aspect and in my opinion caters only to people who are avid social media users. For some like myself, the ease of use and privacy of StumbleUpon as well as its content driven nature were its biggest draws. All I want to do is find interesting things to read when using the app and Mix has taken that simple process away. Very disappointed to see StumbleUpon go and will be deleting Mix immediately. Shame on whoever thought this change would be a good idea, as this is a perfect example of when change is not for the better.
