Reminds me a bit too much of iOS 7's colors. Another problem is that using colors in place for the category icons forces us to memorize the colors. Another problem is the upvote and comment buttons will look obnoxiously big if the title falls into three lines.

Thanks for the feedback. I'm just gonna try to explain why I did certain things.
There are no colors in the original designer news app, so my guess was that it isn't that important. It's just a fun extra to break the white. In most cases the title says enough so you know automatically whether it's about design or code or something else, so the colors will become clear when you have a little bit of insight.
About the buttons, you might be right, but it doens't bother me.. It's something that is very common in app design. I don't say that it's the best solution, but.
I just wan't to win a copy of that book, so I gave it a try =)

Another problem, in addition to the few others that have been mentioned: there aren't regular avatars like you've got. I'd switch to a pixel avatar to make it accurate.
I don't really call that a problem. If the "client" wants to keep the pixel avatars (which are fun) I can easily change it. Whether it's a circle or a square, pixels or a picture, doesn't really matter. It doesn't affect the UX or usability.

Done. Ship it!
I would love to win a copy of Meng To's book! Great inspiration.
To understand the concept I also designed the sidemenu. Here are my two cents :)
