Purposely copied the HN format so users would understand how and why to use it from the beginning. We'll definitely be iterating on the design & functionality of news.

Unlike HN, news can be related to startups on the list, that way if you follow a startup you will see related news without searching.

It's definitely copied the good things about HN :)

Now we'll have to see if it can garner a community...

I agree. Great design too. I think this has a lot of potential, as long as you keep it focused entirely on startups (and weekend apps/projects).

That's our goal :)

It's layout is quite simple, modern, and based on functionality it seems. It'll be great to see more startups submitting their startups and interacting with other early adopters. Great job!

It launched last night, so it's small so far and growing pretty quickly already
