This is the first time I am mentioning this publicly, but I have been working on Educator News. It's a clone of HN for the education profession.
It's been attempted before, and was well received. The people who made it previously were not programmers, so when it immediately outgrew the platform on which it was built, it disappeared. I think I can do it right. :)
I am planning a soft launch this weekend. After working out any immediate bugs, I will do a Show HN.
- stephancoral 13y agoLooking forward to this!
- krapp 13y agoSounds nice. Are you using the original HN code?
- japhyr 13y agoNo, I'm building it in Django. I have been looking for a well-defined project to build, and this ended up being a perfect project. It's inspired by HN, and to everyone here it's a clone of HN, but most educators who end up using the site will probably never know HN exists. It's a completely open project, and if things go well I'm going to write a Django tutorial based on building EN. I'm going to write the tutorial as part of another project I started this year, http://introtopython.org http://introtopython.org. It's been a busy year. :)
