I totally agree with you on this point. I think to make Linkedin irrelevant, you gotta be solving the user acquisition problem from a different angle. I think stackoverflow is doing a good job of doing that with developers. Dribble is doing that with designers. And there are bunch of other niche-based communities that attract people and formed a business model around recruitment which is a major source of Linkedin's revenue.

why is that?

what do you like and dislike about it?

how do you plan to filter spammy links?

One thing this article fails to mention is that YC startups automatically get featured on Product Hunt. This probably has to do with the fact that YC invested in Product Hunt.

would you like to share your story of how you did it?

Has anyone been able to get a letter of intent with just an idea? Is that even possible?

Irrelevant to your comment, but I would like to get in touch with you to talk about settlement/closing software that you mentioned a few months ago. How can I reach you?

I would like to get in touch with you and ask for your advice on filing for O-1 visa. Mind sharing your email address? or you can contact me via my email address as shown on my profile.

yes please. please make one for the ladies.

That's the thing, not one solution fixes all the problems that I have with social media management. For instance, I have to pay for one service that favorites tweets and another for automating tweet posts from rss feeds.

Interesting. I guess when I asked this question, I was thinking about it from the startup's point of view. For me at least, a lot of the things that I post to twitter and facebook are posts from the site that I would be working on at the time. And it just has been such a hassle for me to copy paste the title of the post, link, and etc multiple times.

Looks good!

Great Job!

Well, for better or worse, lobste.rs severely restricts signups so you cannot really participate in the discussions. I opened it up for slicedham so that anyone can submit interesting posts and comments.

Hi Everyone,

Happy to answer questions about the site. This website spun out of this github repo, https://github.com/kilimchoi/engineering-blogs. As an avid blog reader, I wanted to put together a place where I can get the latest news on software development and learn from them.

I loved the first episode but the rest were just meh.

Saw it on producthunt! It looks very promising. I will make sure to participate in the community regularly. One suggestion is I submitted a duplicate link and it still allowed a submission maybe you need to check if the link has been submitted or not.

It would be helpful if you could tell me what about its design you don't like at all. Is it the font size or something else?

http://www.slicedham.co/ for articles on software development. It pulls posts from the list of a few hundred blogs, https://github.com/kilimchoi/engineering-blogs. There's even a weekly mailing list.

I created http://slicedham.co so that you can subscribe to multiple blogs on software dev. It pulls from the blogs listed here, https://github.com/kilimchoi/engineering-blogs

HN doesn't make money right now but they can certainly do it if they start to charge companies for making job posts. Currently, companies are posting under a post called who's hiring regularly which will be a significant source of revenue stream for HN. On top of that, there's a separate tab called jobs with a fewer number of companies which HN can charge at higher price. That being said, I think HN offers lots of values not just for average users like us but also for the companies. This can translate into a huge valuation if it were a startup.

this one is the 4th installment.

hmm I don't know if it's just me but when I click the button, there's no way for me to tell whether my information was submitted.

we used ruby on rails

I believe the whole website was built in a few hours. But, it took us a few days to add the definitions.
