Propose HN: monthly “This is my startup/sideproject” thread

29 pointstwa92711 comments

There's "Show HN" but it's only for launching/one time. I think makers deserve a thread where the current status/updates for a project could be regularly posted.

EDIT. I meant to start a discussion if such thread should be posted on HN. I assume it would be handled by HN's admins.

I know it's not HN, but if you're interested,

https://reddit.com/r/startups has a monthly "share" thread:

https://www.reddit.com/r/startups/comments/4vmkbk/share_your...

along with a weekly feedback thread:

https://www.reddit.com/r/startups/comments/4zgrcq/weekly_fee...

The problem of the monthly share thread is that there is no comment for each post.

I would suggest this as well, not only because I like reading what others are up to, but because I know whenever there's posts about this stuff they usually get a lot of upvotes and comments.

Also for companies that make it big and become well known, it would be awesome to possibly find entries from them on here and reading about their difficulties, pivots, growth, and the input that people have them in the contents at the time.

My side project https://bestfoodnearme.com is getting a new look with the help of the creator of bourbon.io I am also adding some new features to support pictures.

What about a stand alone platform that is deliberately not development by committee, but rather collaborative, mining a pool of great minds for cross-discipline, deep integration on big ideas? I'd help found/build.

Google, Apple, Microsoft Next all do this internally...It would be interesting to do it in the wild without all of the secrecy (which might be the competitive advantage).

Tesla evolving to a modern renewable energy company from a strategic consumer product offers a practical example/case study of what I am talking about. However, only recently have they "come clean" about their intentions.

There is a similar thread at lobste.rs AFAIK every start of the month. It's a bit more generic, "what are you working on this month" or something similar.

I've seen such thread on reddit's r/startups. But doing it here could bring a different flavor of projects ("hackers").

Is there an easier way to get an invite these days? Still don't have an in.

Drop an email I will send you an invitation.

Thank you for the offer! I sent you an e-mail (the one on your website). Not sure if you got it.

My side project is Genni.
