Looks nice, really like the left sidebar.
Since this site only works with a 5 sources at the moment, it could tell me a bit deeper info about the links it's getting, besides the title.
4 of 5 sources (exception being sidebar.io) feature 2 similar metadatas: # upvotes and # comments. They're important metrics for me as a browser figuring out what's important. Show these on the page (optionally?).
And look how much work I have to do to say, see news from HN and DN:
1) load page (shows HN for instance)
2) click hamburger
3) click DN icon
4) (close hamburger?)
If this is an aggregator, it could do more to make this my awesome news dashboard, showing content from everywhere mixed together. Maybe mix HN, DN, and sidebar (textual content, i.e. titles) in the "text list" sidebar. Your hamburger menu would hide/show these from the mix. And same with Dribble/Behance (visual content) - show them as a mix in the right side. Or just keep separate sections/columns for each source.
Though either way, I like the color coding to indicate what source I'm looking at, e.g. blue for DN, orange for HN.
There's definitely value in this, and that value is a special purpose RSS-like reader bringing similar sites into a unified happy design aesthetic with crisp UI.
