Ask HN: What makes you keep coming back to Hacker News?

6•FerkiHN•7mo ago
I've been active on GitHub and tried sharing my work on Twitter, but it often felt like shouting into the void. Memes get likes — but meaningful tools often don’t reach anyone.

Then I rediscovered Hacker News. Even with a new account and a small project, the feedback was real. People cared, engaged, and it felt like being heard — not scrolled past.

I realized that HN is more than a dev forum. It’s like a daily newspaper of thoughts and discoveries. Some users share research, others ask life questions, some post side projects — and it all fits.

> After 18 years, HN didn’t change its design — just evolved with its mind. Twitter is for memes. Hacker News is for thinking.

What keeps you coming back to HN every day?

I have reasons to believe its logs will endure for a long time.
jasonthorsness•7mo ago
You can download your own copy as well, so like Wikipedia the existing content will never be lost even if the main site for some reason goes offline.
alganet•7mo ago
Cool!

I have no use for a copy of it though. I'm estabilishing communication with future humans, using it as a time capsule.

theGeatZhopa•7mo ago
My addiction to news & HN fullfillment of my needings. In contrast to Google's news and other aggregators.

The other thing, it's what interests me the most. Technical things. Superb.

What keeps you coming back to HN every day?

HN is one of the places I can see a number of news stories in one place. It's nice to both be able to submit stories and also not have to administer the website. HN has been a 10 year vacation from running a similar site that I will not name. Being an end-user is relaxing and nearly care-free. Watching someone else run this site is therapeutic and nearly cathartic. I compare it to watching sped-up videos of people landscaping with heavy equipment. Running something like this 10 years ago was an absolute shit-show so I can only imagine how things have devolved which gives me a tremendous amount of respect for team dang.

FerkiHN•7mo ago
This is such a beautiful way to put it — HN really feels like one of the last places where we just read, think, and build, without chasing metrics or hype. Like watching a calm, intelligent internet unfold daily.
jasonthorsness•7mo ago
It remains unpolluted by weird corporate promotions and influence (except the YC ones which are understandable and clearly marked).

It doesn't tailor a "feed" per user, so you know that everyone is seeing the same view of things.

It's very popular and has high engagement; you know stories and comments here matter in the industry.

FerkiHN•7mo ago
Totally agree. The fact that HN doesn’t personalize the feed means everyone’s in the same shared space — almost like a town hall for devs and builders. The contrast with algorithm-driven platforms is night and day.
bell-cot•7mo ago
The excellent Quality/Quantity ratio.
FerkiHN•7mo ago
Yep — and it’s wild how often even short comments here carry more insight than long threads on other sites. HN is full of quiet depth.
sexyman48•7mo ago
Only place I can find girls to talk to.
FerkiHN•7mo ago
This is simultaneously the most honest and unexpected answer I've seen here today. Respect for keeping it real.
eevmanu•7mo ago
I get nerd sniped every day.
FerkiHN•7mo ago
Haha yes! One minute you're reading about a new compression format, next thing you're deep-diving into Unicode quirks from 2006. Classic HN.
tsoukase•7mo ago
I am sure all we can feel why. Not in specific order: sane moderation and user point system, high member IQ, expert opinions in a wide range, absence of corporate exploitation and distraction, light website.
