Poll: Time to introduce multiple sections/channels to HN?

6 points by prakash 18y ago

I see many stories that would come under the business technology & misc. section that are present on the front page, thereby diluting the more interesting submits on technology, startups, programming. Would the community prefer to have a reddit style channels/sections for submits?

Hacker news is the category. If you want all that other stuff, go to one of the other sites.

  That's precisely the point, I don't want most of the other stuff, and hence the creation of channels.

    Why not build something to do this and share the url when you've got a prototype?

Maybe allow submitters to add optional tags along with the url & title, and make those tags searchable using requests such as http://news.ycombinator.com?tag= http://news.ycombinator.com?tag=[TAG] or similar.
