Ask HN: How hard would it be to create a website like HN?
I'm getting into webdev and wish to create a website similar to HN. How much overall experience or knowledge in which languages would be required?
Thanks.
- epilys 5y agoI actually started a simple HN-like site in python+Django two weeks ago because I was bored, which you can study and use/modify since it's free software: https://sic.nessuent.xyz/ https://sic.nessuent.xyz/ https://sic.nessuent.xyz/about/ https://sic.nessuent.xyz/about/ https://github.com/epilys/sic/ https://github.com/epilys/sic/
