- unimpressive 13y agohttps://www.hnsearch.com/search#request/submissions&q=%22show+hn%22&start=0 https://www.hnsearch.com/search#request/submissions&q=%22sho... Could be a start.
- trobertson 13y agoHonestly, I would pay for a site that was only hard-core tech articles. Hacker News' guidelines are decent, but are incredibly open. Citing sentence 3 of the guidelines: If you had to reduce [what's on topic] to a sentence, the answer might be: anything that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity. That's a vast, vast pit of 'anything goes'.
- samweinberg 13y agoLobste.rs is pretty much what you're describing here.
- jw_ 13y agolobste.rs seems like what I'm looking for too. I don't suppose you have an invite handy?
- Locke1689 13y agoI would also like one if you ever get more information.
- t0 13y agoSent. Leave your email if you'd like one!
- BlackJack 13y agoI'd appreciate an invite as well. Email in profile. Edit: Thanks!
- cxzp 13y agocould you drop me one please 1wnn6n9@dispostable.com
- davidw 13y agoI'd be interested to try it out. I think this NSA stuff has sent HN on a path over the brink.
- Locke1689 13y agoI agree. I think that PG hoped this would be like the Erlang days but didn't realize that this wasn't a fad, but an entire group of people with an obsession.

- B-Con 13y agoVery interesting, I'd like one too.
- wldlyinaccurate 13y agoIf you've got any more going, I'd really appreciate one! joseph at the domain in my profile.
- pyvek 13y agoSorry to bother you, but if you have any more left, I'd like to get in as well. Email - me ,,at'' vivek ;;dot:: im
- yread 13y agoLooks cool, I would love to try it too f1348925@rmqkr.net
- glogla 13y agoThere seems to be no discussion though, which is the HN's strong point.
- krapp 13y agoDude... go build it and have people pay you.
- jjsz 13y agoThere's http://hackaday.com/ http://hackaday.com/.
- willurd 13y agoI've come to accept that HN is the place I go to satisfy my "intellectual curiosity" and more focused lists are where I go to get my learn on. For example, for JavaScript stuff: * http://reddit.com/r/javascript http://reddit.com/r/javascript (yeah it's on reddit, but it's a great resource) * http://javascriptweekly.com/ http://javascriptweekly.com/ ( https://twitter.com/JavaScriptDaily https://twitter.com/JavaScriptDaily ) * http://coding.smashingmagazine.com/tag/javascript/ http://coding.smashingmagazine.com/tag/javascript/ * http://dailyjs.com/ http://dailyjs.com/ * http://javascriptshow.com/ http://javascriptshow.com/ (been a while since the last episode) * http://javascriptjabber.com/ http://javascriptjabber.com/ (I haven't listened to any episodes yet, but I plan on it soon)
- xenophonf 13y agoGoogle hack-a-day. It's what I read now instead of alt.hackers. Might be too hardware-centric for this crowd, though.
- mjn 13y agoThey tend to be more subject-specific communities. Lambda the Ultimate (http://lambda-the-ultimate.org/ http://lambda-the-ultimate.org/) is good if you care about programming languages, for example.
- readme 13y agoOf course, this used to be called "Startup News" but then PG picked the more general "Hacker News" instead. While not everyone reading and posting on HN is a hacker, the website was founded by one of the world's greatest. So, I think that justifies the title. Still, no matter what you publish, those outside your intended demographic will always read it. If you made a website called "Gangsta News", I'm sure white suburban kids from middle class families would read it.
- detcader 13y agoI'm no experienced software or hardware hacker but I would have to guess that the best way to hear about "interesting hacks" (whatever those are) is to start doing some. Whether it be NERF guns or C, I can only imagine that one would get in tune with the community fastest if you actually have interest in learning the subject rather than just in the novelty of a Neat Trick.
- jw_ 13y agoI've read hackaday.com on and off over the past while and it's generally interesting. More of a hardware bent than software, but still interesting.
- bdcravens 13y ago/r/programming has a lot of the same links that you find on HN of the "hack" variety
- grundprinzip 13y agoAnd less brogramming...
