Is it just me, or has News.YC slowed down in terms of new stories / comments?
- sharpshoot 19y agoits friday? people are working on facebook platform apps? it is you ;)
- palish 19y agoI don't have any numbers to back this up since it's just a feeling I've been having. But it seems like the rate of new frontpage-worthy stories has slowed down. This might be because those who visited for YC's winter cycle left, since posting on News.YC was an incentive to get accepted. If it has slowed down then that's very odd. This is a great community. I'd be interested to see the daily page view counts / submission counts over the last month or two. Shawn
- kyro 19y agoSam_Odio must be busy. :P
- imperator 19y agoI have noticed this slowdown as well. Mainly links lingering on the frontpage for more than usual. Perhaps it is cyclical.
- pg 19y agoUnique IPs/day are still climbing. Pageviews per IP are down, however. I think your theory that it may have something to do with application cycles is correct. There are now about 50 people who are extremely busy with new startups.
- danielha 19y agoI thought it's been quite active. People get busy, too.
- palish 19y agoSorry, just to clarify, I didn't mean for today specifically. I meant over the last month or so. Also, I'm not complaining :( Just making an observation that may or may not be true.
- blats 19y agoI have noticed the same thing. I set news.yc as my home page months ago and love the way that there is always something to read that leaves me better then it found me. There has been much less volume lately (2-3 weeks?).
