> Was disappointed to get into the description and linked Git repository and learn that it's only for sites that have gotten some traction on hacker news before.

Yes, I was not entirely happy with the restrictive wording either. The original requirement was added mainly out of concern about spam submissions (blogspam, AI-generated content and similar). But the quality of submissions has been surprisingly good and I am genuinely delighted by the number of interesting websites I have came across in the last few hours.

So I have gone ahead and removed the overly restrictive criteria language.

> Was hoping it would be a way to stumble upon potentially underrepresented content from folks in the hacker news community who don't normally get attention.

Yes, that was exactly my intention as well. Thanks for raising this concern. It gave me the push to update the README and make the intent clearer.

Your original reasoning makes a lot of sense, and I wasn't even thinking about that aspect. Thanks for clarifying!
