The application looks good with interesting articles at the time of writing.
As a note though, I opened the link because I thought it was related to Monocle magazine (http://monocle.com/) which also provides high quality content (albeit not community-sourced). Maybe reviewing the name is in order?

High five to my fellow Monocle readers (subscribers?) ;-) Just as a FWIW, I'd totally love a Hacker News-style site for Monocle-esque topics (i.e. the blend of culture, design, business)..
