I&#x27;ll keep the story short and jump right into the point: Last March I attended in IxD16 conference in Helsinki, Finland.<p>In there I saw a great speech from Josh Seiden who talked about Learning from Live Systems but it was basically about Lean UX.<p>Here&#x27;s the video of that speech:
https:&#x2F;&#x2F;vimeo.com&#x2F;159385449<p>Notice that at 17:48 he mentions Hacker News. I was instantly sold! :)
Because I was exited of this great new community I went and search the post he refers:
https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=9197147<p>And I tried to find the website also but it&#x27;s no longer running. So, this left me puzzled. :&#x2F;
Why to present such a project that doesn&#x27;t even exist anymore? I really liked the speech and all but I don&#x27;t understand why this project was selected to be presented.
To me it seems like it wasn&#x27;t that successful after all or it was so successful that it was sold. Does anyone know what happened to it? I would really liked to know. :)<p>Anyway that was my story which I wanted to share. Keep up the good work! :)
Potentially interesting story of how I found HackerNews :)
