Coverage isn't great, but these two have managed to get in to my bookmarks:

I seem to recall a similar weekly service for HN but I can't recall the name of it.

http://n-gate.com/ - just kidding!

Maybe http://www.hackernewsletter.com/ but that's an email.

From the n-gate page:

> Pasting n-gate content or generally talking about n-gate on "Hacker" "News" is a violation of the Prime Directive.

In other words, they want to publish their rants, but are unwilling to discuss their views with anyone, not even the very people they are criticizing. This may be a valid (although insane) approach for a blog, but somewhat contradicts their stated goal:

> The purpose of n-gate is to be a remote island of contemptuous sanity in a sea of ridiculous webshit.

Is ngate some kind of let's rain shit on hacker news kind of site? Because it looked like that.
This description is unfair and not correct. They also rant about FOSDEM.
