- krapp 6y agoI think dang has mentioned they might consider publishing some of the changes they've made over the years but that it would be difficult to untangle the YC business logic from everything else, and they wouldn't have the time to maintain it. But anything to do with voting, spam detection, ranking etc. though, they definitely keep secret.
