https://lobste.rs/ 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/ 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.

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

    > New contributors are always welcome on Lobsters, but pestering other members in the channel for invites is not acceptable. If you are the author or otherwise involved with a story that was submitted to the site, ask and someone will invite you. Alternately, offer some good links or thoughts on a story and someone will likely invite you so can post them. Seems like you'd usually need some kind of reason/action to get into the community that first time.

      If you do manage to get signed up, would you be able to send an invite my way? Thanks

        I can send you an invite too but you need to put your email address in your profile.

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?

  Thanks! I've thought about the content area before, I should do it really. About the missing items. Only the top 25 are taken, and the top 5 from show HN. Items are refreshed every 10 mins.

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