Ask HN: HN Alternatives? I love HN. But HN is so news oriented it doesn't give me the kind of hacker/entrepreneur community that I'm envisioning. What are some other sites where hackers/entrepreneur go to just to ... - discuss early stage startup ideas - brainstorm implementations and solutions - give each other feedback on prototypes ... as suppose to commenting on news? I guess like a forum? Reading news gets old after a while and makes me feel like I'm just a follower not a leader. I'm planning to start a web community if there isn't one. I did a survey to see if people would be interested here: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1358654 But that post quickly got drown out by the noon news flood, which is part of the problem that I'm talking about. (P.S. I do go to real-life meetups of hackers/founders. Those are great but scarce. The only good one I have been to so far in the Bay Area is "hackers and founders". And they don't even meet that often in San Francisco.) |
