Ask HN: Is it ok if I clone this site in another programming language?
I know HN.yc is open source, but it's written in Lisp.
I want to build a similar web application, may be in PHP and Slim Framework, and release the source code.
Is it ok?
And if is not ok, what I need to do? send an email to admin?
Thanks in advance.
- jdubya 13y agoJust do it. If there is an issue, apologize and do it a different way.
- wocp 13y agoI have seen websites which use HN's source code, but my idea is develop a similar application but in PHP. Because a lot of hostings support it, and so, more people will can use it. I think you are right, if someone thinks I'm wrong, I'll do it different, after all it will be open source.
