Ask HN: What are all the “hacker news” sites for other disciplines?
For example I know that for designers there’s designer news. Is there a place where all the mathematicians hang out and share links?
Or is reddit pretty much the de-facto place for online niche communities?
- catach 8y agoThere's datatau.com for data science. I think the tendency is that independent attempts die off.
- mygo 8y agowell, now. this is interesting. I love data science and data viz. thanks!
- sharmi 8y agoFor designers https://www.designernews.co/ https://www.designernews.co/ https://www.webdesignernews.com/ https://www.webdesignernews.com/
- mygo 8y agothanks for sharing. I wish designernews was more active, really like the site though. for webdesignernews, I don’t really think it qualifies since a central entity decides what is news and what is not. It’s more like a news blog. It also doesn’t seem as though users can comment on the links, but I could be wrong about that. I’d put it in the same category as a site like sidebar.io. What makes sites like HN interesting is that the users publish and the users decide what’s newsworthy... for better or worse.

- rorso 8y agoDoes anyone know one for hacking on cars? Everything from stereos to Rpi touschscreens to Speeduinos etc? Just after a place for all sorts of modding car electronics. I've been going it alone for a while now but would be keen to bounce things off like-minded people. I'm on a few big car forums but they're generally based around performance and mechanical modding, with electronics being a tiny subforum or afterthought.
