Ask HN: Is there a HN but more business/startup oriented?

5•vasilzhigilei•2mo ago

I really like reading HN, but I find that there's not quite enough startup, founder, and business content being posted as I would like.

When I check back on HN posts from a decade ago, there appears to have been more emphasis on those sorts of topics than there is now. Where did that go? Where do folks go for business related posts?

Do you speak any Mandarin?

There are Mandarin only HN like sites?

There's http://v2ex.com, but, like HN, it does not focus on the American startup scene at all.

edit: tbc, it is a Chinese site for Chinese users in China to discuss tech and dev jobs and sometimes startup stuff. Crypto of course makes an appearance occasionally but I haven't tracked the site's attitude towards that as of late. Basically think of it as Chinese Reddit + HN.

Chrome does a pretty good job translating that site to english on the fly fwiw.

Interesting. Is the idea to have a community to invest in each other or jumpstart an ecosystem in China? Or is this meant for non native English speakers in the US? I wonder if other nationalities have their own equivalents.

I edited my post to be more explicit; it was started in 2010 by a Chinese indie dev (in China) and grew/evolved from there. Its target audience is mainly devs in China.

HN was supposed to be startup, founder, and business content. Now it's mostly big tech engineers that aren't interested in any of this.

I also want this. The top 10 pages on HN are now really niche nerd topics. Even as recently as last year it wasn’t as bad as this.
