Hacker News is a great source of computer science and startup related news from different corners of the Internet [1]. Sure, one could argue there is a slight bias towards Silicon Valley & the US in what's getting up-voted and commented on, but overall, the quality of things to read here and the related comments are generally of high value. This is, as evident, all thanks to the active community with little tolerance towards internet memes, jokes and non-value-adding information.

So dear HN, could there be a Hacker News for ‘all news’? Or do you think time and other ways to share information has passed the idea?

Sure, there is Reddit and other social media that can be used for the same purpose to some extent, but given HN rightfully serves a purpose of its own, it’s difficult not to think that the same news-centric-community-thinking (for a lack of a better term) could be valued in other contexts as well. Would highly value your insightful thoughts on whether this is something worth solving, or testing out.
