It doesn’t feel like a startup forum anymore. When is the last time you’ve seen a post about improving a landing page? It’s more of a general tech forum now.

It’s more of a general tech forum now.
- Kye 5y agoIt was always an "anything that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity" forum (at least since I was first aware of it), but it grew out of a startup incubator, so the early focus was inevitable.
- mattmanser 5y agoNo, I would also say that it definitely used to be far more focused on starting a tech startup, with tech as a sideline, now it's the opposite. I feel the shift started happening around the time product hunt got popular, so a couple of years before you joined.
- Kye 5y agoYou repeated what I said with different words. We're in agreement. And my original account was from 2010. I lurked long before that.
- Fuzzwah 5y agoTwo days ago.... https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27988065 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27988065 But yeah, it got very little comments and they were mostly negative.
- vimy 5y agoOh, I missed that one. But the frontpage used to be full of posts like that.
