I don't know why it cannot be shared here. Given the open source nature of PG's Arc and the fact that it's main repo comes with a HN clone, I'd be surprised if there was an impetus not to share forks of HN on here. But maybe the hesitancy to link the site has more to do with this statement on it's Welcome page: The initial impetus behind the site is a desire to try to recapture the early spirit of Hacker News. HN currently has about 5 million visitors a month. It's different than it was back in the day when it was a much smaller group of people.

I don't know either. I just wanted to build something interesting. /place, for example, is a clone of Reddit's old /r/place experiment, which was pretty hard to get Arc to do. https://i.imgur.com/0KZSel7.png https://i.imgur.com/0KZSel7.png But, I feel physically ill any time I mention it here, due to the risk. So I don't expect to talk about it again. It does kind of suck though. Arguably the only reason that this story is on HN right now is because it was posted there first, and subsequently discovered. But I'm just happy to contribute back to HN in some small way, since HN added a lot to my life. I wanted to thank you privately for your comment, but there's no contact info. So, thanks – truly. It meant a lot. I hope you have a wonderful weekend.
