News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

HIGH LEVEL PITCH: DealsForHackers.com is a daily deals site for the hacker / startup crowd. (Groupon meets TechCrunch).

This is a concept I'm taking a pure Customer Development approach with - if I get enough people to say that they'd be interested in the concept, I'll move forward to the prototyping / initial deal gathering phase.

Why the new / anonymous account? My boss and co-workers read HackerNews constantly, and I'd prefer that they don't know I'm thinking about starting my own thing.

I'd love to know what the community thinks about this!

I like the idea, but ...

When did "hacker" come to mean, "someone who wants dinner with moneymen and books on success"?
