I like DN as well and browse it almost daily. However I'm not a designer. Is being a designer required for an invite?

Not as far as I know, If you're interested in the stuff that gets posted thats enough I think. Its obviously attached to layervault the PSD version control tool, and there are benefits to linking your account but that's it. Would you like an invite?

Yes please! My email is in my profile page. Thanks!

I really wish HN would have tags, that's the killer feature of lobster for me (Someone posted http://newshack.io/ a while ago, which is an interface for HN with automatically generated tags, but I don't find it as good). I've mixed feelings instead toward it being invite only - From one side, the fact that your account is something "precious" can encourage smart/intelligent discussions, and it's also hard for trolls/…

Your HN comment history shows you’re not a spammer. I’ve sent you an invite, to the email address in your profile.

... thanks!! ;-)

With the requests pinging around here, I'll say it explicitly - I'm a member, and I'm happy to send an invite to any active HNer.

Hey everyone, I'm still working on this. Work, life, HN being down, etc, but I'll get to everyone eventually.

Hey! I had to write a FizzBuzz routine for my lobsters invite.

I was on that Reddit thread too. I wrote one even after the guy giving them out said you didn't really have to.

Thought about doing it here, but, this being HN, I'd probably start getting FizzBuzzes in something unreadable like Brainfuck or Perl, plus 20 other languages I've never heard of.

Reddit's so big and diverse, I don't know that I'd accept somebody into Lobsters just based on reddit history, but a decent HN history/karma seems good enough for me.

If you still have invites available, I'd be happy to take one off your hands :-) Thanks!

Sure, just need an email address - can't see one in your profile

I'm sorry about that. I didn't realize that the email field in our profiles was private. I have updated my profile for you. Thanks again!

Can I get an invite too?

Sure, just need an email address - can't see one in your profile. The normal email field is only visible to site admins, I think.

I'd appreciate an invite and my email is listed in profile.
