Good idea for Berlin startup scene news
From 2 comments
I think this is an awesome idea. Since the startup scene is growing steadily with loads of meetups, hackathons, a great influx of international tech people coming to Berlin and…
tucosan on HNHey I like this. I used to live in Berlin and think about moving back there, would be great to keep up with what is going on there. One thing though, is there an RSS feed?

Objections
Geographic HN clone would fragment the community or duplicate HN content
From 3 comments
I'm from London, and I was at the Hacker News meetup when hackful.eu was launched. It was a promising idea, but most of the interesting or useful articles on HN aren't relevant…
blowski on HNBeing from Berlin myself, I hope this is not going to split up the community. Of course the original HN seems kind of US centric but do we seriously want a separate HN for each…

Requests
Job listings tab
From 1 comment
Good news, I'm looking for a job in Berlin (Java, some Golang and JS, recently Elixir) and that seems like a good resource, but the tab "Jobs" will be welcome.

Integration with HN or a European or German version instead
From 3 comments
Could it be integrated with HN somehow? Some things are of global interest and could be shared between the two and some things are of local interest and could be only on BHN.
tormeh on HNhow about a european version? perhaps tagged by country to filter?
EToS on HNHow about do GermanHackernews instead of BerlinHackernews?

Questions
Why did hackful.eu fail
From 2 comments

We released http://techberlin.com a few months ago. While we don't plan to turn it into a HN clone, we'd love to make it a hub for Berlin's tech community. Would be great to hear…
