This is a social discoverability tool for Hacker News. By answering a few simple questions HN readers characterize themselves. Then, based on their answers they are automatically added to specific "smart groups" where they can have focused conversations.

HN readers can also use the "Hacker Search" to combine different questions/options to find very unique people based on their interests, programming knowledge, etc. Pretty much that's what we do, social discovery spaces for organizations. We would love your feedback. We know the UI needs improvement. Thanks.

Ideology in the worst case. Questionable choice of tools in the best.

The issue is your website not a potential user's browser.
