First few articles I checked - all are about SaaS businesses. As a co-owner of a small comoany that builds embedded hardware devices, I’d like to see something that isn’t SaaS.

Yes this is one of those slightly annoying biases on HN. 90% of the time Product = SaaS. I'd like to hear some stories from folks who have adapted the techniques from this space to work in other markets. Iterating on hardware, embedded software, small number but high value customer markets etc.

See StarterStory, they do founder interviews with hardware/e-commerce founders.

This was posted here already two days ago as "Show HN". Then, it had no activity but two fake comments (new users who were just created at the same time as OP and their only action was that comment). Two days later this is on front - I hope OP did not use even more fake accounts for vote manipulation this time.

Business Suggestion: fix your name.

A valid nitpick actually.

It's either about growing thunts or about growth of unts.

Names made out of two words overlapping with a single letter are next to impossible to pull off. They are confusing at best and comical at worst. They might be memorable because of that, but ultimately they leave a negative impression.

Is this against TOS? I think this is called growth hacking.

This is a nice start, but I think you should also try to summarize them all. I did this with acquisition channels from reading 482 founder interviews [1]. The thing is, not many people have 20+ hours to spend reading through these articles.

Also, some categories are overlapping (AppSumo & Lifetime deals, for example, isn't AppSumo a lifetime deals website)?

Other classics include: expertsExchange, penIsland.
