    Thank you. I am aware that I could search for such a tool. My intention was to find someone who has done the painful job of understanding the pros and cons of the repos and provide me with their expertise.

      There's also this https://github.com/wting/hackernews https://github.com/wting/hackernews -- which is a version of the source code to the site from sometime in the past.

  FWIW some years ago Salvatore Sanfilippo (antirez) wrote Lamernews [0][1] with the goal to create such a clone. AFAIK Lamernews, as a site, is long gone, but the code -Ruby, Sinatra, Redis- is still there. There have also been some forks. EchoJS [2] made a few modifications through the years and is running still today. Mostly about moderation and some related tasks like blacklisting and others. Can't say much about pros/cons but at least it's still used and somewhat maintained.
