Hacker News Reader

I'm curious as to what deficiencies reddit has that made you choose to create a site like this. In other words, what features would reddit need to make you think that reddit solves the problem sufficiently?

I didnt come up with that tagline, this was submitted by someone else. But.. for the full answer, see the FAQ (question #2 and #3): http://pineapple.io/faq

I apologize in advance for the typos, it was really long programming day when I wrote that part of the FAQ. I just noticed them now.

That does't actually answer the question at all. :) You could easily accomplish that on reddit with some simple moderation. What actually makes this different?

Note, I'm not just trying to be negative, I'm truly curious as to how this is different.

Well, reddit just isn't meant for searching by topic and finding a list of resources. Aside from the obvious thing like it's not focused on news/updates type reading.. it allows you to very quickly find a set of tools. Try googling 'web design tools' and youll see it's kind of a pain. Try finding that on reddit and you may find a few threads on the subject but what if you want it for a specific language?

Well there's /r/technology and /r/programming, etc. Why do you visit HN?

HN has different technology that allows for unique moderation that creates a different community.
