Fantastic. This might be the first newsletter I have ever actually opted-in to.

how is it curated exactly and on what measures? (out of curiosity, not conspiracy)
- imkevinxu 14y ago
  No worries, thanks for asking. It's currently just an MVP so it's manually curated and based on popularity rankings. Expect your first email soon!

    btw, in case you want easier browsing for selection, there is this http://www.hnshowcase.com http://www.hnshowcase.com consider maybe also interesting askhns

Is asking roles just a part of gauging the community or does it have an affect on what types of ShowHNs are curated for that user? I'd consider myself both a designer and a hacker, but would prefer to see more design and front-end oriented ShowHNs.

  Just a gauge for now :)

I'm waiting for the 'Show HN: Curated Newsletter of "Curated Show HN Newsletters"' joke aside, I remember seeing quite a few of these recently

  Could we have an RSS feed of those?

    We're building a reader to fill the void left by Google Reader. ...wait, this is /r/circlejerk right?

  Really? I haven't seen any. Do you have any links, or any search words? (I'm putting together a list of HN stuff - extensions, addons, userscripts, userstyles, etc, and this would be handy.)

    The one I was thinking about when I wrote this was http://sideshowhq.com/ http://sideshowhq.com/ https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5372680 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5372680 If you are looking for an easy way to get HN data, the people who maintain the search mechanism have an API: https://www.hnsearch.com/api https://www.hnsearch.com/api (and https://github.com/priestc/hnpercentile https://github.com/priestc/hnpercentile is an example service that leverages the API)

    I started to gather a list of HN related stuff as well. I started by other websites, tweets and browser extensions. http://clearbottle.blogspot.de/2013/01/hacker-news-in-various-flavours.html http://clearbottle.blogspot.de/2013/01/hacker-news-in-variou... I was going to break it down into various categories like Show HN, Ask HN, jobs etc, but real life got in the way :-) so it is in limbo at the moment. Hope this helps.

Looks awesome! I would like the ability to choose both Hacker and Designer though. :)

I wish there were more examples on the site -- I hate giving my email if I don't see the product first (outside of a single screen shot.) I like seeing what was given in the last few newsletters before I decide. I'm subscribed to so many curated HN newsletters so far, they are all starting to look the same.
- imkevinxu 14y ago
  We're finalizing the first newsletter so we'll have an archive on the site shortly!

I'd love to get this as an RSS feed.

Sounds awesome. Based on what I've seen so far, good job.
ritonlajoie 14y ago
maybe off topic, not sure.. Any news about this guy on HN who paid $$$ for a few projects to boostrap them ?
marshallford 14y ago
This kinda stuff is really cool, I always wish I could come up with something like this and give back to HN.
