Such a pity that “Show HN” got bumped
"Show HN" used to be the heart and soul of Hacker News.
Hackers and startups would make stuff and show it and the community would comment.
There's now at least two layers of distance of Show HN from the front page. First, new Show HN'S go to some far off land called "Show newest" https://news.ycombinator.com/shownew and then through some magic they might end up on "show" https://news.ycombinator.com/show.
I rarely make the effort to click to find Show HN's. They may as well be non-existent. As for "Show newest", well never.
HN is a lesser community for having relegated Show HN.
- pedalpete 11y agoMaybe there was a change before, but I just clicked on the 'show' link, and it is still pointing to '/show' and it hasn't changed position in the navbar, as far as I remember. I really enjoy the Show HN as well, but I rarely get there through the link, I find I click on Show links when I'm going through New submissions.
