Ask HN: Would a Hacker News type forum work for different interests?
...would be interesting to see if the style and community of HN could be adapted to different areas of interest (i.e. finance, art, etc.)
- dlf 14y agoUnless I'm misunderstanding you, Reddit sort of does this already.
- fieldsofdreams 14y agoAgreed, Reddit is very much like HN, but I feel the quality of conversations on HN versus those on Reddit are very different. It would be interesting to see if these type of focused forums could also be adapted to communities and small towns. Just a thought.
- TommyDANGerous 14y agoYes, I personally would like something focused on coding, programming, web design, etc. but not in an q & a style like stackoverlow.
- GFKjunior 14y agoI am a frequent visitor of zerhedge.com. It is a fantastic source for dense financial news and has great comments by several libertarian-leaning individuals in the finance community. The comments have gone down in quality recently but there are still gems. Everyone like a community of like-minded individuals.
