This is probably really well known here but hackaday.com is where I get actually hacker news. The stuff here is 90% valley drama, AI stuff, and random product launches that generally don’t interest me. I do love this community and have learned a lot from it over the years. But the hacker ethos has left HN a decade ago.
- brogdan 1y agoI’m reminded of the posts about a decade ago from various prolific posters waving goodbye to HN. They were too kind at the time to say why.

- IgorPartola 1y agoIt’s a blog, not a news aggregator. Front page is a little different than others but it also just lists blog posts. Once you skim those, scroll to the button that says Older Posts and that will bring you to the next page. Being a blog it also has RSS which you can use to consume it in the reader of your choice. They feature projects done by people from across the web so they refer to people’s names using square brackets e.g. [josvdwest]. Each post has comments which I find to be quite thoughtful. There is also https://hackaday.io/ https://hackaday.io/ which is a repository of hardware projects. In very simplified terms it’s like a cross between Facebook and GitHub for your side project that involves custom hardware. People post the details and their progress. It ranges from half baked attempts that were abandoned early on to some really amazing and unique things. When people complain that the old web is dead, this is the antidote: just clever people creating and collaborating on cool shit.
