Hacker News for cyber security news. Good idea?


hi all! I am planning to develop a hacker news like site for cyber security news and for infosec folks to discuss topics. Some of the features I plan to include are: * submission of news, comments, upvote etc * discounts and bundles for any cybersec study programs, books etc * reference documents for things like NIST standard assessments, COBIT audits, GDPR implementation etc

I have not decided whether it should work as an aggregator or like HN rely on users to submit news

What do you guys think? Would you guys like a site like that?

Thanks !

I think that there's a big difference between "news stories" and low-level exploit details. The audiences would be very different.

There are existing sites with a good niche, such as https://0x00sec.org/ which might have more direct input though.

I think this would likely work better as a newsletter first that (maybe) later expanded into a news site.
