I'm legit thinking of starting a HN/Lobsters/Reddit/etc. type of link-sharing site focused squarely on "vanilla" #webdev topics. It would be very strict, e.g. posts about React would be banned, as would Tailwind "CSS". 😎
IMHO the signal-to-noise ratio on most (all?) of the existing channels is simply painful. As a mostly-vanilla web developer, I have zero interest in yet another "How to Build a Component with React and Tailwind" tutorial. Finding the meaty stuff out there is a real challenge!
@jaredwhite sort of a CSSTricks meets HN mashup? I could see something like that working as a good way for people to promote their blog posts. Not everyone will have WebMentions turned on but they might still want to generate discussion.
@mcneely Sure, that's a good way to put it!
