A Hacker News but just for Londoners

Insular. Although some sense of geographical location (configurable) next to names would actually be quite nice. lotsofcows (portsmouth, uk) 1 hour ago

yeah, It's starting hyperlocal because that seems the easiest route. That would be good and I'll look into it

I agree on the branding (doesn't sound like its about London startups) but having seen this site for a couple of weeks now there is a nice little community there. It makes sense to create a subreddit or site for London startups as there's a big community that doesn't really have a (non-facebook) forum to communicate and share.

Thanks! it is work in progress so a few upgrades should be coming along as well

Nicely designed and really handy to cut through the clutter to get to relevant London based stories.
