The "ask HN" section is usually very informative and useful, ie. dealing with problems, finding work, recommending products etc.
I'm not sure a "show HN" section would have the same overall value for the community.
- tronium 12y agoI agree, especially that the "Ask HN" section is more valuable. However, the people who post "Show HN" posts will appear in Ask HN, making it cluttered. I'm essentially asking for a bit more organization.

A separate "Show HN" section would allow you know... people to show what they are building. Extend this further, the homepage should be defaulted to "Show HN" and all the rest put onto "other" pages!
- canthonytucci 12y agoI think a third party can aggregate these and that would be enough. Personally, I like that HN is a single page to visit (more or less) with occasional ShowHN items appearing, I like seeing them, but would be less likely to visit a separate section......if they appeared in both I guess that would be ok.
- Turing_Machine 12y agoAgree and disagree. The Show HN posts rank very high on my personal scale of "interesting stuff". I'm not sure I would agree with them being the only thing on the front page, though. There's a lot of other interesting stuff here as well.
