I've always thought that a simple HN-like site directed at those of us interested in art, critical theory and literature would be wonderful. Does anybody know of one? I would be interested in helping set one up... One of the difficulties is that artists and academics tend to be very protective of interesting sources as I think intellectual individuality is much more of a currency than in the tech world.

I would be interested in this. I come from an art background and many people use aldaily.com to get a sort of curated collection of articles. But adding the voting from HN would be interesting. That said, you are right that academics are protective. Much of what they are actually interested in is pay-walled as well.

  I once created a HN like alternative - http://tagly.azurewebsites.net/ http://tagly.azurewebsites.net/ - Has Tags - Reputation - Votes used as favorites - Permission based roles ( not everyone can see all tags), according to tags --> custom roles or permissions on the topics. - Personal tag header ( you can pick which tag you want to show in your menu) - Custom tag based posts ( eg. when you add the tag newsletter, it adds 1 text input named subject, 1 textarea with Html and 1 textarea with text). - You can hide tags showing, so it's only used as data - ... I could add paywall to it, if a post contains a tag named " paywall" The demo is currently in Dutch though ( titles). For anyone who wants to try: Demo1:123456 ( user : pass) -- http://tagly.azurewebsites.net/Account/Login?returnUrl= http://tagly.azurewebsites.net/Account/Login?returnUrl= It's not completely finished though

    You should post this as a "Show HN:".

  Thanks for the aldaily heads-up! Going on my bookmarks. If you don't already know it, http://conversations.e-flux.com/ http://conversations.e-flux.com/ is also a pretty decent semi-curated list. In terms of setting one up, lobste.rs is open source (https://github.com/jcs/lobsters https://github.com/jcs/lobsters) and could be a good candidate for a starting point...

If you have interesting content to post and discuss in those areas, please post them to HN! Those definitely qualify as “gratifying one's intellectual curiosity”. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
