Hackaday edges out Hackster significantly on homepage messaging, 75 to 40. Here's where the gap comes from.

Hackaday is clearer about what it does (72 vs 60 on clarity). Hackaday is better at saying who it's for (ICP: 50 vs 33).

Both sites use the "Community / Movement" positioning archetype — they're competing on the same narrative, which means differentiation has to come from execution, not framing.
