#52https://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.

#54Twitter and Reddit. Unsubscribing from all default subreddits is what got me addicted.

#55Drudgereport.com - its the best news aggregator on the web about politics hands down and I am fascinated by politics.
Drudge is a great aggregator but my goodness it has strong political biases. I used to pair Salon.com visits with drudge to get contrasting spins, but a year or two ago Salon went all link-baity fluff. For a while qz.com was amazing until they re-designed their home page and removed 50 IQ points from the content (ditto for fivethirtyeight.com). At this point my news sources are mainly reduced to the great-but-comical…
> US-moderate or left of US-center news aggregator that acts like its readers are intelligent
Other than perhaps on Twitter it's hard to find such a thing. Most news outlets are very biased, low-brow and clickbaitey these days, it's hard to be profitable otherwise. That being said, I'd personally categorize them as follows:
"Pro-Establisment" left of US center: NYT, Washington Post, Bloomberg, The Atlantic, The Economist, BBC, New Yorker, Politico
Very left-wing: The Guardian, Huffington Post, BuzzFeed
"Establishment" moderate/right of US center: WSJ
Very right wing: Drudge, Fox News
Libertarian: Reason.com
Paranoid: RT, Zerohedge
Comically-biased, extreme right wing: Breitbart, Blaze, Daily Mail
Comically-biased, extreme left wing: Vox, Vice.com, Slate, Salon, Gawker

#56Earlier quoted context omitted.
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; } [1] http://i.imgur.com/CqKW1yK.png
Sorry, didn't mean just visited links. I want unvisited (but seen) links to be treated differently. Example: I visit once, scan 30 links, click 2, and leave. Come back 2 hours later, there are 5 new links, 5 have dropped off, and my attention is drawn to just the five new links, regardless of whether I visited the other 25 or not.

#58The blog of a man named Mark Manson. He doesn't post very often, but everything he writes is a fresh perspective on a psychological principle.

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?
FWIW, I've updated the layout. Think it does look better that way.
