Where is the Hacker News source code?
I'd like to play around with the HN source, does anyone know where an updated repo lives?
- andymoe 14y agohttp://arclanguage.org http://arclanguage.org there is a tar file under the install link and the news source is in there. Others in the community have ports etc on github. Check out the forum on the arclang site.
- emeltzer 14y agoThanks. That doesn't appear to be the latest HN though (no search for example)
- andymoe 14y agoI'm pretty certain search is done using an outside service and is not in the released source...
- unimpressive 14y agoIt's done by the octoparts team IIRC. It's an external service they sell that HN gets for free. (Again; IIRC.) EDIT: From the "news news" page: (http://ycombinator.com/newsnews.html http://ycombinator.com/newsnews.html) We now finally have search for HN, thanks to Octopart, who've been working on it for a while as a test of their new search database, ThriftDB. You'll see a search box at the bottom of most pages. Sorry this took so long. For a while we hoped to implement our own search, but it became apparent that would take a lot of work to do right. So we were delighted when Octopart decided to get into the search as a service business.
- chc 14y agoThat's right: It lags the site by quite a bit and it's missing a number of "secret sauce" features that PG doesn't want people to know how to game.
