The problem with this is that it fragments the community, you now no longer read "Hack News" but instead read "Stuntgoat News" which has a readership of 1. It may have some crossover with "Almost News" but I think it would be deferent enough to remove the feeling of community that a site like this engenders which I think is one of the reasons people take the time to write long interesting comments (like yours here).
- stuntgoat 17y agoI was thinking of simply adding a link at the top of the main page between 'new' and 'threads' that was 'peers' and I could subscribe to multiple HN users' tagged links. I believe it would allow a closer connection between the members of the community that have interests in common. Seemingly, there is a sub-culture of people interested in mostly programming news; so, instead of moving them to a new site altogether, allow them to maintain a connection to this site, at the same time as giving them a tool to build community.
