This is cool, and I hope it catches on. Despite its flaws and quirks I think HN has something nice going on in terms of the overall submission and discussion quality, and I don't think it should be restricted to just 'hackers' (or startup founders, software engineers, enthusiasts, etc). Just like how there's a whole ecosystem of Stack Exchange sites for a variety of interests, maybe there should be more HN-like sites as well, fulfilling a cultural role that (e.g.) subreddits alone can't. Plus, the software (minus some of the ranking algorithms) is out there already for anyone to use.
