Ask HN: Any sites like oursignal.com?

This was a unique and fun presentation of "news" (news mixed with Reddit posts, memes, etc.).

Wondering if there are any sites around that aggregate similar things in this way

Do we know how they decided how to size the various stories?

I want to say that it was a combination of time and importance.

My friend and I have been working on this site http://feedvix.com that’s sort of similar. It’s a random mix of news articles, jeopardy questions, xkcd comics, Investopedia terms, jokes from the 80s, chemical elements, notable quotes, and Wikipedia articles. It’s good for when you run out of content from whatever you typically read.

I knew I saw something similar a few months ago on HN so I looked it up and I found it: https://newsmap-js.herokuapp.com/

You can make your own with Feedly feeds. I started using it after Firefox dropped RSS support. Got some news, HN, and niche topics in a custom feed.
