Ask HN: Feedback on my idea?

I couldn't really compile the idea into a good title for this. I just wanted to see what HN would think about the idea. Its nothing too special or new, but it seems like it would be useful given the state of things currently.

Basically, I don't like the state of Techcrunch and similar sites. A bit too much of a biased focus on VC, big names, sensationalism and the twitterati.

I was looking to create something in a similar conceptual vein, but with a more HN-oriented overtones. More information on bootstrapped/unfunded startups or side projects. A new and hopefully more accessible channel for these types of projects to get some sort of public recognition (if its deserved). More in-depth information on the technical side, not just pageviews and funding data. Perhaps some interviews with successful (and unsuccessful) startup founders. Etc..

Thoughts? Good idea or bad idea? Things you'd like to see? Things you wouldn't like to see? Is it already being done? Questions you'd like to see asked to founders? Anything.

Its already a work in progress, but I'd like to tailor this to fit what people would actually like to see as best as possible.
