Thanks :) It uses my own mini-framework for Google App Engine. This comment has more details: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2916803

Ah, didn't implement that yet. I'll get to work on that :)

Hi SudarshanP, I voted you down because I thought it was spam, sorry. I've undone my vote now so you are back to 0. When I voted there was just one item with a link, and it looked …

Thanks. I'll probably write about the implementation once I get some spare time. I got a lot of great feedback today that I'll be busy implementing for a while :)

Thanks for your advice and compliments :) I was debating between calling them "lists" or "articles", and decided on "articles" because my hope is that over time they will become fu…

Thanks :) It's developed with the dynamic language Groovy, on Google App Engine. Here's a comment with some more details: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2916803

I just felt the need for that a few minutes ago, a troll overwrote all of the articles with junk text, and I had no way to easily block his IP. I'll be working on that ASAP.

Thanks, that happened because a troll overwrote the entry for Vim with junk text, and then the people added vim because they didn't see it. I've manually merged their entries with …

Thanks :) I've seen that site before. Mine's more about creating comprehensive articles rather than just a list. Something where each item of the article has paragraph(s) of detail…

Thanks! I'm glad people are noticing the speed, I spent a ton of time on that :). Yep, working on it full-time.

Should I keep the 5 star rating control for rating articles, and change the voting on items to thumbs up/down? Or should I change both the voting on items and voting on articles to…

Thanks! Spam edits can be reverted in the history tab, there's still more work I need to do to make that easier though. Spam articles can be voted down, and that will take them off…

Thanks! I really appreciate your support :) Your other article, "Best Text Editors for Programming", is a perfect article for Listry I think. The Cambridge coffee shops one would b…

From this being the top comment, it seems everyone agrees. I'll add it to my to-do list :)

Thanks :). I see what you are talking about, it's because the main page is long enough to have a scrollbar, and then when you choose a category, there isn't enough content to need …

One reason could be if you wished there was good resource on a topic. For example, if you wanted to convince someone that they should develop for iOS instead of android, you could …

Hmm, thanks for the heads up, I'll have to look into that. I don't know what would be causing that.

Thanks! Right now the popular tab sorts things based on the votes for the article, and also the votes for the items within the article. So an article with good items can rank highe…

Thanks :) For crap articles, people can vote them down, which will move them lower on the new articles tab and popular articles tab if they are voted low enough. Also, I can manual…

Thanks for noticing the speed :) I spent a lot of effort on that. I built my own mini-framework for Google App Engine with a focus on speed. The main thing that makes it fast is th…

It's very easy to set up, and it works alright. There is a delay for things to show up in the search results though. I think once app engine (which is what Listry runs on) implemen…

Haha, okay. That'll be next on my TODO list :)

Thanks! Yea, building the community will be the tough part. I was planning on writing high quality articles on Listry and then hopefully some of the people that read the article wo…

This is the project I've been working on for the past 6 months. It combines the features of wikis with a voting system that determines the best parts of an article. There's still a…
