Why does one of the core coverage areas of HN need to stop, in your opinion?

Founders get actionable feedback and advice on their projects with contributions weighted heavily from developers and tech enthusiasts who know what they’re talking about (even if sometimes a bit ornery). Commenters get to learn about new projects before anywhere else on the internet and provide QA in return. It’s all win-win.

They’re giving feedback on the experience. Nothing was broken, just confusing.

Using HN for feedback is pretty core to YC’s value for batch companies and has been going on for quite some time

Why?

HN readers seem like the best folks to beta test a product on as they can give a lot of actionable feedback and have context on what good systems should look like.

And we typically like helping fellow hackers/entrepreneurs/etc.

I was happy to provide feedback. Why not just post it here instead of hunting down a support channel? Pretty much every forum has this kind of back-and-forth going on.

...do you... know what Ycombinator is?
