YHK - yet another hacker news clone

21 points DavidHaerer 4 hours ago 9 comments

I appreciate HN for staying up-to-date with technical news.

For my side hustle I have to ramp-up on other areas like marketing, legal, sales, ...

So I wonder if there are similar high-quality sources like HN for these areas.

Lobste.rs for the more technical deep-dives — smaller community but higher signal-to-noise ratio.

Dev.to and Zenn for longer-form technical writing, though the quality varies a lot.

For architecture and system design specifically, the Software Architecture subreddit (r/softwarearchitecture) has surprisingly good discussions.

HN remains the best for the intersection of tech + business + ideas.

This question comes up every year (I've seen it for the nearly 2 decades of HN), and the answers are never satisfying.

Other industries just don't have an HN equivalent, either for lack of trying or because hackers are good making and using things like HN when others aren't.

Unsure why @Nathanf22's comment was downvoted to death. I would also suggest Lobste.rs and Reddit. But then again, RSS seems to work quite well in my case.

Can you recommend some of your favorite RSS feeds for non-technical topics?

Sure. Here is an older list that I shared a while ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28911253

In the meantime I've bookmarked quite a few more on literature, politics, and such, if it's of any interest. I've also made (a fairly weak) case for Jacobin here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44309069
