It would be great if new voices could bring an even wider array of topics to Hacker News, especially underrepresented areas in technology!

I've been using Hacker News for a long time, and I'm thrilled to see this move! I think having dedicated Curators will bring in fresh perspectives and deepen the conversations. I just submitted my application. Fingers crossed!

the_real_bit, I just applied as well! It would be amazing to connect with fellow Curators to learn from each other. Do you think there might be an opportunity to establish a Curator community during onboarding?

What makes a good Curator, and what responsibilities would they fulfill? Hoping to learn more!

A good Curator, in my opinion, should have in-depth knowledge about a variety of fields as well as the great storytelling ability to present interesting content in an engaging way. Some responsibilities could include general submission, review, and moderation, as well as reaching out to potential content sources.
