http://www.stubia.com

This is my first web app, Stubia is a really simple mobile encyclopedia that limits each article (Stubs) to 160 characters. I designed the site to be mobile and scale up to bigger screen resolutions. I want to get some feedback on the current version and maybe some general advice on what should be changed/added.

I posted this earlier as a link but it didn’t gather as much feedback as I had hoped so I’m reposting this on Ask to hear from the community.

The basic goal of the site is to have a place where people can create content that would otherwise be deleted by Wikipedia; no concerns about notoriety and no pressure to expand articles. I don't really have any plans to impose any rules on the site, for now I want to focus on collecting the long-tail of articles that doesn’t exist on the web.

There is also a micro-blogging component to the site. Depending on the context attached to the article a series of buttons appear on the article page(By default just Love & Hate, I left out selecting contexts for simplicity and data quality concerns), clicking on them creates a post on your profile: http://www.stubia.com/@abe

What are your thoughts on this? Please play around with the site and share any feedback you may have.
