A similar project popped up 6 months ago, "HN for research papers", it had traffic for a couple of hours and now the site is not even up.

There's also a "HN for Golang.

The challenge is the same here, how can you attract enough people so that there's a healthy discussion on at least some of the top items. So far, only seen it working out for lobste.rs, there, at least there's some discussion, but TBH I still ask myself how is that better than just going to HN, as the conversation is practically the same as here.
One of the first things I do when I test aggregator sites like this one is to look for the RSS feed. I may have missed something but I did not find one here - could that be added? It would make it much easier to integrate into my normal 'news flow' which is more or less entirely built around RSS feeds presented through Nextcloud News [1]. I can scrape sites which do not provide their own feed but that is tedious and just increases the load on those sites.
