Currently, people who are open to receiving communication from other users are able to list an email address and other channels in their profile.
Anyone on HN can opt-in and does not require administration by the HN moderators. Or additional development effort by HN programmers.
Good luck.
- ack_inc 1y agoYes, and a few rare users do that. However, I don't know that users that don't do it are 100% against being contacted by other HN users. It's possible they're just hiding their email to prevent the usual marketing spam (my own position).
