That's great! I've been thinking of starting a similar project. What fork/ version of news/arc are you using, and could you provide some technical details about how the parent site is implemented?
- danlev 12y agoThanks so much! The whole site (including LGBT News) is built from scratch, using PHP and MySQL. I came across a few turnkey Hacker News sites, but didn't really like any of them. I decided to build LGBT News from scratch just because I thought it'd be easier to integrate into the existing site, and I thought it'd be a fun project (I usually tend to do that for the learning experience). Login uses Facebook Login (which has been a huge headache), countries and regions were implemented using an ISO database, and some of the additional data (population, religions, etc.) comes from Freebase.
- pervycreeper 12y agoCool, wish you success.

- danlev 12y agoYeah, I did it just for the ease, then it turned out to be more work than it was worth.
