Hacker News-style link aggregator focused on AI and tech

Hey everyone,

I just launched a community-driven link aggregator for AI and tech news. Think Hacker News but focused specifically on artificial intelligence, machine learning, LLMs and developer tools.

How it works:

• Browsing, voting, and commenting are completely free
• Submitting a link costs a one-time $3 - this keeps spam out and the quality high
• Every submission gets a permanent dofollow backlink, full search engine indexing and exposure to a targeted dev/AI audience
• No third-party ads, no tracking - only minimal native placements that blend with the feed. Cookie-free Cloudflare analytics for privacy.

What kind of content belongs there:

• AI tools, APIs and developer resources
• Research papers and ML news
• LLM updates and comparisons
• AI startups and product launches
• Tech industry news

Why I built it:

I wanted a place where AI-focused content doesn't get buried under general tech noise. HN is great but AI posts compete with everything else. Product Hunt is pay-to-play at a much higher price. I wanted something in between - curated, community-driven and affordable for indie makers.

The $3 fee isn't about making money - it's a spam filter that also keeps the lights on without intrusive third-party ads.

If you're building an AI tool, writing about ML or just want a clean feed of AI news - check it out. Feedback welcome.
