Would love to see the first sub being a lightning native job board as a replacement for the bitcoinerjobs link that exists today. I think that makes the most sense for three reasons.
  1. It's weird to have an external link to another company on the main stacker news menu
  2. Stacker News has all the tools to build a job board that's much more responsive and accessible for job posters. Many companies pay over $100/posting to other boards to be included on a chronological list of jobs, with no ability to customize a post's visibility. We can do better.
  3. This could be a great revenue source for stacker news and/or a great incentive to become a stacker news user. Job posters could pay stacker news to have their job listings rank above other posters, and a portion of that money (maybe all of it at first) could go back to stacker news users in proportion to their web of trust ranking.

  • I would love to see (semi-)automated sub for podcasts, where each episode automatically creates a new post and we can have conversations under it right away. Sats would go automatically to the podcaster and their node (e.g. their Fountain account). If some episode gains a lot of traction it could show up in the main SN sub. @kr, wouldn't that be really cool functionality to have? It would be additional stream of sats to you next to value4value and it would be nice place to interact about the episode content.
  • It would be great to just have the devlists emails and render them nicely. That said I think this actually could be a feature separate from subs, since it doesn't make much sense to have tipping on it, etc. The email threads have a bit different UI needs...

yeah that podcast idea could be really cool on stacker news. it's hard to discover new podcasts from lightning podcasters so many just end up sharing them on the main stacker news feed (myself included), but the data provided by the podcast index could allow stacker news to automatically pull titles from podcasts with lightning tips enabled.
i agree on the devlist idea too, would be a nice thing to have but probably shouldn't be formatted as a ranked forum.

The dev lists would be time ranked instead, but the discussions are still "trees" like our discussions. They're even often formatted as markdown.
@nout As for tips, we could still allow tipping, creating accounts for the devs with their emails and they can claim the tips by signing in with their emails.
