I think the idea is very interesting. Though, unlike the HN community - which is mostly tech audience - I don't think that using HN's design is a good idea. Programmers really don't care about the design as long as it serves the purpose well and is simple. I think you need to customize the design a little bit. Overall, it really is a great idea. Goodluck!
