I do not see OP mentioning "better" and neither on the website it's mentioned.

>>Why not just use HN to follow topics you like (JS in this case)?

It's a very subjective question. One answer can be why there's HN or why there's StackOverflow or why there's both.

It's actually good to have a dedicated JS forum, even if there are already many out there. Besides, on HN everything is posted - everything. People participating here are https://twitter.com/thejayfields/status/235074734163898368

I never said it claims to be better and it isn't. Let me rephrase the question: why would anyone want to be on echojs instead of HN, given that it's essentially an HN clone for JS and HN community is bigger at the moment? Why would you use it?

I am just trying to understand its value for myself.
