#2Checking out product hunt and such websites has became a daily habit for me recently. It is quite a good practice both to get some inspiration and to come up with ideas. I've found out so many great information through Hacker News, Indie Hackers and certain sub reddits, too.
But the problem is that checking all those sources consumes a noticeable amount of time and most of those sources doesn't offer RSS. So, as a weekend project, I built this app to aggregate all those stuff into one single page.
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

The readability isn't that great so I tried tweaking the CSS around for higher contrast: http://imgur.com/a/Ohsav (values used: #F00, #00F, #777, #EEE)
At that point I realized having visual boundaries for the different content areas and individual pieces of content would probably make things close to ideal.

I couldn't expect more than that. Much appreciated. I'm not very good at UI related things. I'll try your recommandations.

It's working. I just changed the "@" sign to avoid spam bots.

Coming back to it, using a background that contrasts more with the entries was cleverly done. It makes them a lot more visually distinct while keeping the site overall a lot more clean that what I suggested with more obvious separators. I'm gonna have to add that trick to my own toolkit.
