I think you're misunderstanding my feedback. It should just be a web app. You'll never have a reason to create a native app if it's just a social network.
Some more feedback: it looks like you're promising Twitter with a technology/entrepreneurship focus. That's like telling someone you're building an apartment building that only software developers will move into. You have to actively moderate the discussion (HN is one of the most heavily moderated social networks, if not the most). So what you're really pitching isn't a software issue, it's two things that have nothing to do with software: A) acquiring users, and B) making sure that they only post within your topic.
Like most social networks, it's not a software challenge at all. The software part is easy. The challenge is marketing and moderation.
To take it one step further: you shouldn't even bother to write your own code for this, since there are now a ton of open-source Facebook/Twitter/Reddit clones available.
