Just checking, there are only one page worth of articles right now? And it's the website isn't broken?

Cause I can't find the next button...

Has any of the many "Hacker news for...." sites ever taken off?

Just saw it and figured I'd pass it along. It's a topic specific niche I'd like to see more of. I'm sure the same is to be said for bitcoin enthusiasts and other random trend like that. Hacker news for x is a funny concept by itself, but part of reddit's appeal for me is all about the subreddits. If someone wants to take the time to setup a topic specific niche why not?

Thanks! I wanted to wait before I posted it on Hacker News, but sooner the better I guess.

Sorry about that >:) I saw it on twitter this morning. It looked ready to go and needed some fresh blood in there to get it rolling so I figured why not.

It was born only this noon (Eastern Time).

well, i tend to view reddit as the 'hacker news for everything' if that counts..

otherwise, i don't really think so. but i'd argue its related in that reddit has made such sites largely unnecessary. subreddits can be as narrow or broad in topic, and as open or regulated in curation as one wants. i see little value in a 'finance news' (for example) when there's /r/finance and probably around 100 other finance-related subreddits out there..

I don't mind seeing a "HN for xyz" site, but it bugs me when the design is exactly the same as HN.

Hacker News is open source, it's likely running the same code.

Have a link to source code?

Cool. I just signed-up. Btw, I noticed that once you upvote a post, the points count changes immediately without needing to refresh the page.

There exists /r/programming and /r/coding and HN is still here.

In my opinion the success or failure of a site like this depends whether or not it has enough traction to start a good community, which at the end is what makes the difference.

The hacker news for x trend is interesting, but I think the format is badly suited for small communities. The high data density of the front page makes a site with moderate activity feel like a ghost town.
