#12I doubt it'll work. HN doesn't work just because it's there, it works because it has a certain traction among a certain community. Building up such traction is very difficult, and I doubt doing so by adding a link to it from a non-Europe-focused site is going to help much.
Lamernews looked real cool the first 2 weeks as well, and then it mostly died out. How will Hackful be different?
I mean, I'd love it to be different, I'd love a site about hacker culture more focused on European issues, people and businesses. But I can't see why it'll work.

#14Bad idea. HN is an international effort. No need to contextualize it by continent.
After all, we exist without skin color, without nationality, without religious bias...

#15The domain was registered 2 days ago, so great job in launching early. You really need a strategy to keep people coming, but all I can say is good luck, have an upvote.

#16A quick but of advice: give the site some personality - visually, I mean. It will make a difference. People will respond to it better and respect it more.
If it looks like an HN clone, that's how people will treat it. Differentiate.

But that doesn't immediately invalidate geography as a useful filter.

#19What is on-topic on this board?
Europe centric I think ?
Re: Hackful - A Hacker News for Europe
#20I'd be more interested by a HN Asia or something. I mean, political, technological issues in US and EU are different but not that much, after all. Japan, Korea, China, Singapore, India, etc... lots of stuff is happening there and nothing much comes to the surface.
