Thanks for this! The sales side of startups is not discussed enough on here. As much as I love HN, I get lost in the coding side of it being a sales person myself.

Another nice site built on Telescope (https://github.com/TelescopeJS/Telescope).

Its nice to see these communities come up, particularly when the focus is something of interest.

I see these niche hacker news clones pop up all the time and then never hear about them again. Have any of them gained real traction?

Datatau's still going strong.

I'm all for niche HN clones, but looking at the articles on the homepage.. yowza. Are they simply poor selections or are they truly top-notch articles?

Similar problem when trying to find good articles on online marketing (nature of the subject matter). So much crap, so little substance. You have to really look to find the good stuff.

On Chrome (using Disconnect, AdBlock and TabCookies, though the first two claim to be blocking nothing), the page is stuck on "Loading".

Pages that bootstrap their content using javascript are frustrating when the bootstrap doesn't work.

When clicking 'discuss' or 'comments' multiple times I'd expect to see a sign-in or register redirect. Doesn't look like that is happening here.

HN for Sale?

Ok, this is not the case. How can one estimate the worth of this community? 10$ per user?
