Would love to see the first sub being a lightning native job board as a replacement for the bitcoinerjobs link that exists today. I think that makes the most sense for three reasons.

1. It's weird to have an external link to another company on the main stacker news menu
2. Stacker News has all the tools to build a job board that's much more responsive and accessible for job posters. Many companies pay over $100/posting to other boards to be included on a chronological list of jobs, with no ability to customize a post's visibility. We can do better.
3. This could be a great revenue source for stacker news and/or a great incentive to become a stacker news user. Job posters could pay stacker news to have their job listings rank above other posters, and a portion of that money (maybe all of it at first) could go back to stacker news users in proportion to their web of trust ranking.

After that, we'll begin working on our first sub

Sub, as in like a SubReddit?

Will it be named a Substacker?

Some well meant and hopefully constructive feedback on search:

• Currently the response is a bit slow after I hit enter and there is no clear indication that the page registered my query. It made me wonder whether I did not click correctly.
• On the search results page the searched string could be highlighted
• I'm not a big fan of the bottom position:fixed button and a bar on desktop. The sticky circle button breaks the feel of SN being this fast, static page. The bottom position of search is unexpected (on desktop). On Mobile it works ok and the position is good (i.e. it's easy to reach with your thumb and on Android it's common to have FABs).

Would it be sacrilegious to have a shitcoin sub? Might be fun to attract some WSB-style traffic from the degens...

Okay ... who else looked at all the top menu items, the drop down menu, etc, ... before noticing the yellow magnifying glass search tool in the bottom right corner?

Oh, and I see if I scroll the the bottom of the page, the search field appears and the cursor is there already. Cool, no mouse move necessary!

I'm finding this search to be very useful!

And am pleasantly surprised that searching for something like covid19 also includes COVID.

However, when I search for BIP119, I get all other BIPs in the results as well.

I tried what I thought would do "exact search", "BIP119" (using quotes) but the search results did not differ. Fortunately, my browser does highlighting of matches when doing a page search, so I was able to easily find what I was looking for. But some method to indicate exact search would be preferable.

Is there some way to do an exact search?

I tried search with my username and that didn't return results that would include my username:

Looks like search is not attempting to find a match against the URL of a Link post -- not even the domain name.

e.g., search on github.com

The search results will include Link posts with github.com in the title, Discussion posts with github.com in either the title or the description, or a comment or reply with github.com anywhere (including where the github.com is part of a URL). But search results will not include a Link post where the only Github.com is in that link post's URL.

You might already be aware of this exclusion, but if not I wanted to share it here. I can create an issue in the Github repo for it, if that is warranted.

Nice touch on the search. Super helpful.
