just checked all of these out. thanks for sharing
Does anyone know one for hacking on cars? Everything from stereos to Rpi touschscreens to Speeduinos etc? Just after a place for all sorts of modding car electronics. I've been going it alone for a while now but would be keen to bounce things off like-minded people. I'm on a few big car forums but they're generally based around performance and mechanical modding, with electronics being a tiny subforum or afterthought.
thanks for sharing.
I wish designernews was more active, really like the site though.
for webdesignernews, I don’t really think it qualifies since a central entity decides what is news and what is not. It’s more like a news blog. It also doesn’t seem as though users can comment on the links, but I could be wrong about that. I’d put it in the same category as a site like sidebar.io. What makes sites like HN interesting is that the users publish and the users decide what’s newsworthy... for better or worse.

Just Reddit for the most part.
Or is reddit pretty much the de-facto place for online niche communities?
