This site (cool intent, good luck) highlights what HN does really well, because this site doesn't go deep on a refined textual experience. HN has a very simple user experience, deep content, and yet remarkably little abuse or junk content. There must be a great deal going on behind the scenes for this clean look and feel, free of abuse. How are bots suppressed? How are abusive users and content avoided? Insight into…

That's what I'm trying to figure out at the moment. Want to bring commenting back asap, but need to come up with clever way to block trolls...maybe a time window between registration and allowance of commenting + some sort of minimum karma - like you'd have to click on certain number of articles before you can comment. First thoughts. Will read up a bit on it.

I work at an automotive-related tech firm so in principle this looks great and useful. I do think the design could be simpler, more like old reddit or HN, to maximize the amount of information presented to the user. There also appears to be a moderation problem, especially on the current top post, so I can't really share it with colleagues yet ;)

For those viewing this in the future after this has (hopefully) been fixed, it's one user spamming comments with exactly the slur you'd expect a dozen times.

Commenting had to be disabled temporarily.

Does not seem to contain much "industry" news but rather "consumer" news. I am in industry and working on those cars, they are done and off of my desk 2 years before the public even sees them, its all just history for me...Industry news should talk about things like the current µ-chip shortage, sales, regulations, engineering, etc.

What site do you actually use for auto industry? I find that outside of technology and specifically software - everything is just consumer news and detail-less blurbs. It would be fascinating to read the HN equivalent of another topic.

I've been looking for something like this myself for years. I would love to have a HN for electronics and automotive. Problem is both of those industries are quite closed and do not have large groups of their participants online, as with SW. I get industry news internally from our organization, there is unfortunately no online source for it.

A couple of things I really think would help: The password reset and login form leaks account info in the network response. You should return the same network response regardless of whether the user exists in the DB, instead of relying on the UI to communicate that. Logging into your site sends back the full account profile object, including the password 'hash', which appears to just be a Base64 encoded string. Fortu…

Hi, Could you help me replicate this on my machine. Should I use the developer console to check all network responses?

Hi Ivan, will definitely add more industry sources as I 100% agree with your point!
