Ask HN: Are HN Mirrors allowed?
What's the official opinion about articles like Another Unsolicited HN Redesign [1]?
Are mirrors/redesigns of HN allowed in a meaningful way? Can I implement the above mentioned design on my own fetching data from HN and share it?

- minimaxir 12y agoThe linked article isn't a HN mirror, it's a mockup. At the least, it's impossible to make a completely functional mirror due to the lack of authentication in any API.
- franciscop 12y agoI know it's a mockup, but I mean if anyone was to extend that mockup and make a real website out of it, with server-side retrieving the content form HN. Only for non-authenticated users.
