Hey keehun, It would be cool if there was like a categories thing for HN though right because sometimes there are loads of other things on here. How hard do you think it would be to make something maybe that people could just post their projects too and then could filter by day, week, month in popularity. I'd be interested in making something like that I think. Couldn't be too hard surely.

I think what might be more useful than another HN for Github (or other code) projects only is if there was a tumblr or a microblog of curated code projects/library. There are many cons to having it curated instead of a democratized voting board, (and there may be room for both), but what would interest me with the curated stuff is that there would always be a place with good links (that is, if the curation was good). Thing with HN is that things get buried within hours. I don't think it'd be hard. Just start a tumblr or some microblogging site.. You could also just start a subreddit for this kind of stuff. There are various sites to do very specific areas of code/library listing such as https://www.cocoacontrols.com https://www.cocoacontrols.com

  This could be my reason to set up a tumblr lol. However, how do you decide what comes in and what doesn't without some democracy, I guess that is the issue. You almost want a shared tumblr. I could quite easily create a sub page on github pages to have an archive of links. I'd have no trouble doing so. You can get caught out though with how do people submit things they've seen to you also. If it was via email and you don't like it not sure how I feel telling someone their thing wasn't cool enough haha. But it's an idea. I'd quite happily set up a page linking to things I thought were cool with short descriptions by the side.

    I think the success of it would depend on your judiciousness of valuable content
