https://lobste.rs/ _sometimes_ gets things before HN. I also follow Product Hunt but I don't find either are as consistently high in quality has HN. Last year I made http://serializer.io/ that aggregates items linearly from all 3 (and some others) on a single page.

id love to try out lobste.rs but i cant seem to get an invite, and commenting is one of the biggest parts of these kinds of sites to me.

Side question: does anyone know of a browser extension or anything that would hide/gray out HN headlines that I've already seen on previous visits so I know only what stories are actually new on the front page? Would make scanning quicker.

Accessing HN with Firefox (if your web history is turned on) does exactly that[1]. No extension is necessary. The same is true for every other browser since the CSS file it clearly says:

    a:link    { color:#000000; text-decoration:none; }
    a:visited { color:#828282; text-decoration:none; }

Yeah I'm in the same situtation. Just haven't come across someone that's actually a user.

Nice job on serializer - there are now newsworthy articles on the front page that are missing from HN front page.

ps. I think you should set a max-width on the content area, I see you made it flexible probably for mobile but on larger displays the unlimited width makes your eyes move too much (meanwhile I'll fix it with stylish)

pps. free https maybe?

Reddit. Well, certain subreddits anyway. Mostly gaming ones.

Various gaming sites, most of which aren't relevant to people here (GoNintendo, Nintendo Life, Gamnesia, etc).

Many, many different forums. Some tech related, some gaming related, some just about anything and everything. At the moment, mostly my secondary Wario Forums site, as well as The Admin Zone and a few others).

CSS Tricks.

Smashing Magazine (and a few other web development news sites like Sitepoint and A List Apart).

So quite a few things really.
