Nice job. I've actually been looking for more places to hang out with the HN crowd.
I'm not sure about this approach though. Forums are too centralized and don't feel interactive enough. I'd much rather see a HN community on Matrix or something similar.
- chatmasta 8y agoHave you downloaded Riot.IM? There’s lots of rooms on there that likely have high cross over with HN.
- caitlinface 8y agoWhat about a Discord server?
- LinuxBender 8y agoDiscord is an interesting idea, though I am not a fan of them retaining all messages forever.
- mykull 8y agoDon't you think many HN posters will object to using a chat service with a fishy as-of-yet probably-not-profitable business model and a big ol' database of all the messages sent? Discord is a great service for now, but it's unclear to me what their plans are in terms of monetization and user privacy.
- unicornomy 8y agoI don't think HN users will actually object using this service. Although I dont understand why would you call it FISHY - because what's there on Discord that's not anywhere else on Google :) or Alexa ;) About Monetization Here you go : https://goo.gl/Af7xwR https://goo.gl/Af7xwR
- dchuk 8y agoThat was actually part of the point of using an "old school" software package for this. I totally understand that there are newer/arguably "better" ways to handle online conversation, but some of us grew up on forums like this so the nostalgia is just right.
