- linsomniac 5y agoIf at all possible, I'd find something someone else has done and use that. :-)
- Calamity 5y agoThat's fair enough haha! I guess just looking for a pet project to get started with.
- NicoJuicy 5y agoHN is actually a great example. Look at the old source of it and admire it's simplicity. https://github.com/wting/hackernews https://github.com/wting/hackernews
- Calamity 5y agoYeh, I had actually briefly looked into after writing that comment and found the same - interesting that Paul came up with his own version of LISP to do it in. If you wanted to remake it in a modern framework though, what stack would you personally opt for? I think Postgres or MySQL for the database is a no-brainer, but what about the quickest approach for the rest (bar of course simply cloning the repo ;) )
- NicoJuicy 5y agoThe tool i best know is dotnet. Perhaps controllerless, similar to : https://github.com/ServiceStackApps/RazorRockstars https://github.com/ServiceStackApps/RazorRockstars But, as mentioned. That's because I know that tool, that knowledge is not transferable through a comment :p
- Calamity 5y agoYeh, definitely - I appreciate the input nonetheless!
