I'm working on Tech Posts (https://techposts.eu), a Hacker News for Europe!

Since the last time I posted on HN it's gained a decent amount of traffic and users. I'm particularly happy with the jobs section, which is growing into a high signal-noise source for European tech jobs: https://techposts.eu/jobs

The reason I started this website is because so much incredible innovation and growth in Europe flies under the radar. If you ask Americans many will say it's just "banks and museums", stagnant, or worse. But the reality is there is a huge spectrum of exciting companies starting and growing here. We have space launch companies, battery companies, AI companies, and a whole bunch of other interesting stuff. It's an exciting time to be a European in tech!

I bookmarked it and moved it next to HN. Hi from an Italian living in Zurich

  • Hey, thanks!

    So much going on in Zurich. Lots of robotics startups. I passed through in the summer and never knew...

Bug on home page:

"Ask TechPosts.eu: Is there an EU Cloudflare alternative? I'm interested in CDN, DDoS mitigation and basic web security." Links to https://techposts.eu/post/153

"3 comments" below it links to https://techposts.eu/post/154

It looks like the latter is correct.

I would have sent feedback direct, but I can't see an about page or anything.

Great idea! There was another some years back that I think died. But now seems as good a time as ever to try again.

We do need this. HN is quite US-centered and sometimes I'm tired of it. So good luck. I'll be part of it.

EDIT: There is indeed a bug: clicking on a title which is an internal link sends you to the wrong page -- you have to click on the comments count.
