[apsurd]

Honestly, I try to vote up as many "SHOW HN" projects as possible but when I saw it was a Groupon for ___ I immediately lost interest.

That's not to say it isn't well executed or anything. I'm just trying to answer your question. I'd wager a guess that HN-folk like to see technically-well-executed projects, nerdy projects, and/or novel projects.

A Groupon clone fits none of these. Don't get me wrong though I know a lot of trash is upvoted. I just personally didn't upvote this because I don't care about another frickin deals site.
