Whew, thanks for the reminder as to why I hate HN.

Looking at the analytics yesterday I noticed quite a bit of traffic from HN and found this post myself.
I literally created SN because I had been asking myself that question for well over a year.
I think HN has a seniority issue, but they're governance is opaque so it's hard to prove. i.e. They give too much power to their top users who are likely relatively old (I'd guess a mean of >40), post-economic, mentally conservative, and politically polarized. But fuck they get tons of traffic.
This second page Ask post with an SN link buried halfway in the comments got us almost 200 visits.

already have some evangelists- good sign!
Might have enough users to coordinate a proper product hunt launch when you think the site is ready for prime time...
