Unfortunately, it looks like it's not quite released yet. If you want to write your own in Ruby on Rails, this plug-in might be useful: http://rateableplugin.rubyforge.org/
3. No. As someone else mentioned, reddit uses the python framework web.py. This site uses an unreleased version of LISP: http://www.paulgraham.com/arc.html
4. Good luck.
5. You should check back on this site frequently because a lot of these issues get discussed here often. There seems to be a good mix of hackers and non-hackers.
Thanks a lot for your info. I remember reading the article about the guy who wrote 101out. Thanks for the link. I wish this project to become an open-source soon.
I also remember reading that YC news was an attempt by YC team to work something out in Arc. Thanks again.
I have been around Reddit and YC communities for a while, but never really had the opportunity to jump in on any discussions. Up to now my projects were all in concept develop phase. Now that I am approaching content and communications phases I definitly need to know more about programming, languages, frameworks and all....at least to know how to talk with hackers.
1. Is it hard to develope a similar one to reddit? (I found PLIGG open source and Openserving, but I am a big fan of reddit simplicity)
2. How much would it cost do develope one? (To hire an programmer, implementation and maintance)
3. Is YC news using the same platform as reddit?
4. Thats all for now. Please any input is welcome.
5. I am not a hacker, so I really don't know if my questions sound a little bit silly.
Thanks already.
