Re: Hackful - A Hacker News for Europe
#92A Hacker News for Europe would be great. A lot of the stories on HN are very USA-centric. Currently it looks like Hackful focuses on the UK, especially London. Lets hope it expands to cover all of Europe.
That's the hope - come on European Hackers, get posting, commenting and upvoting
Re: Hackful - A Hacker News for Europe
#93Yes, lets rule out the country that provides us with a userbase for most of our sites. Surely there's nothing relevant there? Hands up if you have an English-language website in which the US is not the largest segment of users?
It is nice to hear about Stripe, but useless to me as only available to US users.
I want to hear about GoCardless and not have to search through to see what is relevant to me and what I can access.
Plus, if I am based in Paris, I want people in Paris to quickly respond to a plea for help.
Re: Hackful - A Hacker News for Europe
#94Interesting. I think there's definitely demand for services like this. We have been working on a community for entrepreneurs and startups in the UK (in addition to our information website), lion.co.uk/community, we're still in the phase of optimizing things. We've found that there's many entrepreneur and startup websites but gaining critical mass to make a useful community is another thing. We should probably work to…
We will definitely work together! :)

#95Passwords... Again. I can't believe I still have to create an account. Even for a website like HN that I'm completely addicted to, I would've never signed up if it weren't for OpenID. You want me to use your service? Make it easy for me to authenticate, I don't need yet another password...

#96Earlier quoted context omitted.
Downvote for supporting a feature request? srsly?
Downvote for being a dickhead. Not that this stops pg, of course. He loves incompetent morons like yourself. Apply to YC today!
Pardon me for taking the bait, but what are you so mad at pg for? Clearly you've taken some kind of interaction with YC and/or pg personally.
Re: Hackful - A Hacker News for Europe
#97A 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.
It's coming... only a day old so far :)

#98Hacker News for Europe = Hacker News.

> Yes, lets rule out the country that provides us with a userbase for most of our sites.
With the greatest respect, that kind of silly assumption is exactly why a Euro-centric HN-style site is potentially interesting to those of us here in Europe. I can think of numerous ideas for businesses aimed at a particular kind of culture or niche interest where the US probably wouldn't be a particularly big market.
In any case, there are more people in Europe than the US, and a very high proportion of them speak English with impressive fluency even if it's not their native language. And while we have quite distinct national identities, we also have many things in common that are relevant to a business/tech audience and quite different from how things work in, say, North America or Asia.

This isn't phrased very pleasantly, but it is a valid point. It would be very cool to have OpenID support like on HN.
