For me it seemed like more effort to skim than HN but I am not sure why that is.
My first impression though is this is better than anything I use currently for news. Really a testament to what complete trash "the news" has become.
This a small side project I built a few months ago and I find myself using it quite often to stay up to date so I thought I should share.
Its updated every few hours.
Feedback welcome.

For me it's the length of the headlines. HN headlines tend to be 10-12 words max. Headlines on this site are 3-4 times longer, and are significantly harder to parse (for me at least). The headlines on the actual article look to be more concise. For example, the first link right now is "At least 16 people, including the mayor of Nabatieh, Lebanon, are killed in an Israeli Air Force airstrike on a municipal building in Nabatieh, with Lebanese Prime Minister Najib Mikati condemning the attack. (BBC News)" and when you click it you see the much more concise "Mayor and 15 others killed in Israeli strike on Lebanon council meeting". If it's trying to be a 1-sentence summary of the article, instead of a headline, I don't find that very helpful.
