Ask HN: like HN, for other disciplines/topics?

[porker]

I love Hacker News and the discussions it has, but programming isn't my only interest.

Google faileth, so can you help? I'm after similar specialised news sources for other subjects. I know of Reddit et al, but the discussions aren't as knowledgeable and have too much noise.

I'm working on Telescope, an open-source HN clone: http://telesc.pe

So anybody can now create their own "HN for X"!

Excellent, thanks!

I haven't added comments to jkl.io yet but they are coming and will have multiple filters to try to keep things sane. Watch this space.

Ironic that it's poorly designed. Arbitrary use of color, pixelated graphics, poor contrast, no responsive layout, etc.

Fantastic thanks!

Though after Layervault vs the Flat-UI incident... :)

[polskibus]

reddit on the whole is similar, isn't it ?

Technologically, yeah. The community? Not a chance. And as far as the code goes, one is way better off creating a couple tables and making their own clone than re-using reddit's code.
