I like the website (minus some css changes), and would like to start my own alternative, but for my smaller social audience. I've seen source code for the following:
- postmill
- tildes
- lobsters
- reddit (don't want to use that codebase)
I've not seen HN's forum's source code.
Some focuses my site would have:
- support posting images
- none or low js
- secondary social network, aka no intent to scale huge like fb/twitter/reddit. HN's size counts as secondary social network for me.
- majorily serverless would be a plus if possible, docker support would mean I could run on google cloud run serverlessly.
- postgres preferred
- longshot, but written in a faster language like crystal/swift/rust would be more than I deserve. I'll learn whatever language the best software is already written in.
Recommendations? Other software suggestions?
