#2HackerNews is a great community. I love the comments because they come from people much smarter than me. I actually started to make a newsletter from comments which contain an important lesson: https://lessonsofhn.com
Sadly the newsletter has only 4 subscribers and I might discontinue it in the future. However, I will not stop favoriting comments which contain important lessons.
Now I'm thinking about building a tool which will send you favorite comments of a user to your mailbox on a frequency you choose. You can add your own user and then you will not forget the things which you favorite because you will keep getting them in your inbox.

I love the lessons you've shared so far, but I don't enjoy getting newsletters (I drown in emails). Maybe there is another way to share them.

#4Very frequently we come across prospects for our design services who are part of the HackerNews community. It becomes a great opener to connect with them.

Thank you, I'm so happy you love them :)
I chose the e-mail format to make sure that I don't lose any lesson. E-mail forces you to act on it: either read it or delete it. I made a weekly newsletter so people don't get drown in e-mails.
But I totally get your point, I will think about a way of solving this issue. Until then you can also subscribe via RSS to the e-mails:

Same here: thanks but I don't need more emails in my Inbox. RSS would be fine though.

#8It's been a mixed bag. I think there is a toxicity in the moderatorship and a predisposition for downvotes - which is frustrating. There are also recurring cirlce-jerks which distorts things as well. Nor has the HN platform improved in the years I've used it.
But sometimes there will be a worthwhile link, or a salient comment, perhaps once a week; and that's about ratio i've found when using HN over the years. And those things are the things I remember.
If you like something, comment on it - it means more than a vote, and helps you bookmark it if you ever want to track back to it.
