I should explain what is this about. Frontends intention is to be a community of passionate front-end developers and web designers focused on help each other, discuss and share interesting things about Front-end development and web design. Is similar to Hacker News, Lobsters, Growth Hackers and Designer News or that was my idea. Is built on top of http://www.telesc.pe/ http://www.telesc.pe/ using https://www.meteor.com/ https://www.meteor.com/. Is in early development so you will find some bugs. Any feedback is really appreciated.

Looks good - bookmarked! Are you targeting a similar demographic to /r/webdev? One bug I have encountered is on clicking upvote and unregistered, I am redirected to frontends.COM

  it should be fixed now.

  Regarding to your question, I have no specific demographic target, just general Front-end developers that are willing to learn, help or give feedback, it has only two weeks I have nothing specified yet about demographics.

Neat! I hand't heard of Telescope before, and it looks sweet (a lot like Discourse in some ways). How much code did you have to write to get this up and running?

  I just had to create a package with my CSS: http://www.telesc.pe/docs/custom-themes/ http://www.telesc.pe/docs/custom-themes/ and tweak two lines of JavaScript to alter the number of results per day. To install it I followed this: http://www.telesc.pe/docs/installing-telescope/ http://www.telesc.pe/docs/installing-telescope/ Used this to deploy: https://github.com/arunoda/meteor-up https://github.com/arunoda/meteor-up On a 1GB Ram 30GB SSD Disk node-v0.10.30 on Ubuntu 14.04 Digital Ocean droplet And got the domain on google domains, and that's it.
