Hmm... I don't completely agree that adding Show HN would be a replacement for Product Hunt. It feels like the two communities are pretty different, and creating a separate community for product launches gives you the flexibility to incorporate new social protocols (like the AMA) more easily, and add in visual elements like mockups.

Just my 2 cents!

Agreed. Product Hunt and HN share a lot in common (and in part, HN inspired PH) but they're not competitive.

They have different audiences and longer term they will look much different from one another.

Hmm, what is the longer term vision you have in mind?
