Build it !
The HN community model is simple, elegant and effective. There's no stopping you from adopting this model and applying it to your own niche'.
Of course, a huge factor in HN's popularity is Paul Graham's endorsement / YC hosted arrangement. This is something you won't easily be able to emulate ;)
- roundsquare 15y agoAlso quite difficult to get the same level of conversation.
- ignifero 15y agoThat. No matter how good the software, its the seeding of the community that's the hardest part. also HN is heavily moderated
- rkalla 15y agoCertainly a good suggestion, but I just laughed at the potential future-irony of him building it, and then suddenly being up to his neck in code, and being back here on HN posting stories about how to scale your startup on EC2 :)
