Ask HN: HN for DIY'ers? Is there such a thing?

8 pointsby aepearsonabout 10 years ago
I was wondering if anyone here knew of a &quot;feed&quot; type site like HN that was for DIY-related topics.<p>I love building stuff and learning about building stuff. Would be cool to see something like this platform, but all about fun DIY projects.<p>The Instructables home page is pretty cool, but not quite what I was looking for.

As someone who has recently gotten super interested in soldering and other DIY matters, I would too love to have a central hub for news and relevant stuff in this subject… :)

The problem is that places like HN perverted the term &quot;Hacker&quot; by making it a synonym of developer&#x2F;coder, which in previous meanings covered what you call &quot;DIY&#x27;ers&quot;.<p>Everybody around here calls himself a hacker, when in the past it was more an achievement than just a job you can choose.

Some fraction of HN users are professionals in the primary fields it covers. By definition DIY&#x27;ers are not professionals.

You might want to check out hometalk.com - thousands of DIY ideas and projects, with lots of community interaction.
