Certainly not trying to be rude, but what is the value of the site? What does it provide beyond HN? Love that it's open source, though. I'll definitely be taking a look at it.

By reading the source you learn how to write a real-life application that uses Redis as its main database.

  Oh I see! Could be helpful. I'll try to add to the community, too :)

HackerNews is (mostly) Open Source as well: http://arclanguage.org/item?id=4718 http://arclanguage.org/item?id=4718 It's just written in some crazy esoteric language by some nutjob. :)

A website like HN is really simple to make in PHP. I don't see the point in making it open source. I don't see the point copying HN either. HN is not a great website because of it's design (which is really poor in my opinion). It's a great website because of the community.

  Personally, I think Hacker News has a great design and a poor community. I guess these things are just a matter of taste.

    Honest question, why have you stayed at HN for almost three years if it's a poor community?

      Because if he left it would be even poorer.

      Well, the community isn't "poor" -- it's just not for me. I don't participate nearly as much as I used to. It's not like the only choices are "stay" and "leave".

    Well, when I see post like that hitting the front page I'm really wondering about the community. And the worse part is, even if it's a lame post, it's not even generating interesting discussion.
