I wrote a hn-like social news site in a week, and I'm sure that others could do the same. That's the easy part - the hard part is getting users.

- jsdalton 18y agoYou can build one with Slinkset in 10 minutes. You're right though -- getting people to USE it is the challenge.
- fallentimes 18y agoAgreed Slinkset is awesome. We use 3 of them already and the founders are very responsive to feedback & bugs.
- waleedka 18y agoSame experience here. I launched OnSingularity.com a while back, and I ended up spending more time on marketing than development. What I learned from the experience was that there is still potential for niche social news sites, but it takes a really long time and dedication to grow the community beyond the tipping point. Unless you're someone with an already big following, then it's easier.
