It's really important to understand that the news aggregation site is not about topic or implementation, it's all about the community around it. So instead of forming your own, why not improve existing? Filtered by "open-source" tag?

By no means trying to ruin your enthusiasm here, but please DO consider using one of the existing aggregators for the same purpose.

Also Open Source seems like a very broad topic to me, covering most of the programming languages, *nix systems and so on...


Yes, it's all valid feedback. I kind of felt a gap for a timely updated and focused news source focused on "open source". At this point I don't plan to shift to an existing news aggregator, but if you don't mind sharing - do you have any in mind that would allow such filtering?


I don't think guys at lobste.rs would mind this approach, try starting a discussion on GitHub.

Obvious choice here of course is Reddit, but it's a bit overblown.


Thanks for the suggestion! Will reach out to jcs. Reddit may not be optimal though I feel.
