Stories need a time-ago description, like the comments, otherwise, I hope it succeeds.

  It's not news, so I took the time-ago out to reduce clutter, though I could add it back if everyone wants it back.

Looks like this is a Hosted Reddit install? Is there an About page, or other information to know how it's different than /r/startups? ;)

  It is a hosted reddit install. It should be more focused than /r/startups. In particular, the focus is startup tips, which to us means something related to tech startups that provides actionable advice or useful insight to their founders. It's not news. I'd really eventually like it to be more of a community with about 50% self/ask hn type posts. So feel free to share results, ask for feedback/advice etc.

This had a different name and domain name and was posted here before, right? If not, it looks identical to a site that was (and covered the same topic).

I like the new stories box at the top. If many new stories don't get voted up because people just don't see them, then the box seems like it could alleviate that problem.

Hey all, it's not just me running this site. The current moderators are: yegg, jimy, prakash, shedd, blakejennelle, cperciva, codeslinger, kirubakaran, plinkplonk, davidw, miles, maxklein, jmillerinc, BrianSierakowski, & sadiq. The idea is to make a community for tech startup founders to share tips and collectively improve our odds of getting traction for our startups. We'd love any help to make this community work.

  Is this a subreddit by any chance? It says "powered by reddit" so I'm not certain if you just use the OS code or the domain feature.

    Nope, it's self hosted using the reddit open source.

      Cool. The reason I asked was because it says "- frontpage" in red for me even though I haven't logged in. That only happens to me in reddit when I'm logged in and go to a subreddit page.

  Could you elaborate more on what will distinguish techstartu.ps from HN? At first glance, they seem similar.
  - epi0Bauqu 16y ago
    Yeah, it essentially has no news, economics, politics, science, etc. It's more the HN of 3 years ago when it was way more tech startup focused.
