  Hi Brett, thanks for posting and for setting up slinkset. I'm hoping to tap into some of the Hacker News wisdom in terms of sharing epiphanies :).

    betterexplained kicks absolute ass. Resources at comparable standards are extremely rare. Your slinkset may very well be recursive: [Posts betterexplained.com]

      Thanks -- really glad you're finding it useful. Yeah, don't mind the self references if there's meta discussions people want to have :)

  No offense, but how is the launch of a slinkset site a top HN story?

    Beats me -- isn't it a slow news week? :) I was really happy to see this at the top. I think it may be because we're both YC alum and some articles from betterexplained have been well received here in the past. But also, I hope, the need to know why (not just how) is a common urge among hackers.

    It's not the mechanics behind the site that is important, it is the concept. Betterexplained is a site providing valuable insights, and http://links.betterexplained.com http://links.betterexplained.com promises to become a great resource for understanding the world. Hackers care about curiosity, learning and understanding, hence the interest.

    I'm guessing slow news week. It's been all finance stuff and layoffs.

  This is a great idea, this kind of "big picture" articles are worth much more than news "bits and pieces".
