Growth hacks might result in lower quality of users. I don't really think that SN needs more features right now, and generally the focus should be on UX & performance. Quality content + users is what matters. I check SN every day, so from my perspective it should be sticky enough for organic growth.
This is great feedback! Content quality in a way depends on having more users - only a handful of us really post content as is and users might post more if there were more users to engage with it - but I agree.
Also to your point, we don't want low quality users which is why I think growth hacks should either increase the hurdle (like invite-only in which case we grow slower but stronger) or somehow increase content quality (like hosting a searchable archive of dev mailing lists).
It's at the bottom of the list for a reason. I want more feedback on how to approach it and we are growing little by little organically as is.
the focus should be on UX & performance Where do you see the UX or performance lacking? These can always get better everywhere, but I'm wondering if there are specific areas you see trouble.

Well, one specific issue is the "loading screen" on page loads which happens because content is rendered client-side. It's not a huge issue but kind of annoying.
