Very, very good idea. I have been looking for away to get more into asian cultures. I have traveled a lot to other places but only have so much time and it is hard to get insight into the lives and minds of other cultures from far away, esp the younger people. So this is a good place to start. Obviously it is very reddit-inspired, both idea and design. Reddit wasn't the first aggregator though and they are here to st…

Thanks!

1. What is the target audience for this site? (Its not 'hacker kinda' as mentioned in a comment here). Building that initial user base might be the key to the success.

2. Related to point 1, what is the 'essence' of the site? As in what kind of posts are allowed/not allowed, comment etiquette, is there any moderation? (Right now i see 'Bomb' blasts in India' as the top link. Incorrect headline, and and conveyed an entirely wrong message to me at least.)

3. For some reason the create login page didn't give me focus on the text boxes. (Firefox 2.0.0.16)

4. I was on a profile page, but did not get automatically logged on after creating the account.

The good part is you prefer the minimal and simplistic design. Good luck with your venture!

p.s. There was a 'pg' id on the site as well. :-)

only problem I see here is content and how frequently you would get correct hacker kinda news(that too India specific) there. You can't follow multiple sites for same news. From the current content I don't find any technical article there. India specific news can be followed by 1. http://india.alltop.com 2. follow indianews on twitter good initiative though.

I reckon the name is more towards lifehacker than to hackernews, like the former is not about computer hacking but life in general.
