Glad to see this. Show HN has always been my favorite part of Hacker News. Anything that can inspire more creation and help product builders find an audience, is a good thing, imo.

Nice to see you here! I don't mean to be rude, but how do you think it can impact Product Hunt?

I only recently joined Product Hunt, but to me the major differentiator is that Show HN are self-submitted products, while Product Hunt is a curated list. That means I'm more likely to find higher quality and interesting products on Product Hunt, but I'll be the first to learn about a new product from Show HN.

But /show is also curated, ranked by votes. /shownew is where you can find the latest.

I didn't take offense, lalwanivikas. The fact that you mentioned Product Hunt is more flattering, actually.

As dang mentioned, there's room for both. The HN / PH communities are significantly different and will increasingly look dissimilar over time.

In what ways do you think the communities will diverge over time?
