Another HN copy cat. Wonder if they'll be able to build as much engagement as the HN community.

Purposely copied the HN format so users would understand how and why to use it from the beginning. We'll definitely be iterating on the design & functionality of news.

Unlike HN, news can be related to startups on the list, that way if you follow a startup you will see related news without searching.

It's definitely copied the good things about HN :)

Now we'll have to see if it can garner a community...

I like their layout. Seems like a pretty small community.

It launched last night, so it's small so far and growing pretty quickly already

It's layout is quite simple, modern, and based on functionality it seems. It'll be great to see more startups submitting their startups and interacting with other early adopters. Great job!

Thanks! wanted to avoid a detailed design that would fight startups for attention.

Overall elegantly designed. A great resource for the ever growing community of startups.

Is this a response to pg's (paraphrased) "HN is for hackers, not startups"?

Oh and pssssst! Add a RSS feed! :)

I agree. Great design too. I think this has a lot of potential, as long as you keep it focused entirely on startups (and weekend apps/projects).

StartupLi.st is sponsoring a startup weekend event in SF next month

I like it so far. I hope it becomes the best place on the web to promote/find new startups.

Would love tags/categories for startups (eg mobile) and the ability to follow tags
