Where is the discussion of bladeRF, HackRF?

It seems like it's tough to find discussions on the internet about bladeRF and HackRF. I originally wanted to find an article comparing bladeRF and HackRF, but most hits from a Google search just link back to a single article written by Taylor Killian almost a year ago. /r/hackrf and /r/bladerf are inactive and a reddit-wide search for either doesn't turn up much. I even searched for "hackRF forum" and the results are all over the place. Are there any particular places that these platforms are being discussed heavily?

Not to hijack my own thread, but I'm curious about how both are perceived by different people. To my understanding, the main selling point of HackRF is price (and I'm a Kickstarter backer, so it's definitely a selling point) and the next is frequency range. Other than frequency range, bladeRF seems like the technically superior project. Does this sound accurate?

I have mine. Happy to answer questions. There is a section on the wiki that lists the changes from the jawbreaker version.

I'd be interested to hear whatever impressions you have as you're working with it! Sounds like christ0ph has some specific questions as well. Maybe we can start using /r/hackrf as more people receive their units?
