No. However as HN grew, it became more generalist and reduced the need for other HNs. I've acknowledged HN being read by architects, artists, fighter pilots, map makers, lawyers, tradesmans and doctors.

Every subject, exposed in a relevant way that adds value, has a place in HN.

For marketing and sales: https://growthhackers.com/posts It's been up for a few years (and looks good!), but hasn't gained much momentum. This is one of those segments that seems to lack a certain something , that causes a community to coalesce around a central interest.

I imagine the problem is that a lot of people who define themselves as "growth hackers" are (a) only interested in promoting whatever it is they are promoting, and (b) like to think they keep a competitive edge by keeping their knowledge close to their chest, rather than sharing it with others.
