Very nice. At first, I didn't really see the point of it - another voting/wiki type thing, sigh - but the interface is so fast and compelling that it just drew me in. I registered so I could vote on something, decided to see what creating an article was like, and it was so smooth it made me want to start more, and then eventually realize I have been looking for something like this.

One thing I noticed was that under the 'best text editors' list, Vim shows up multiple times. Would be nice for it to know to combine or something. Pretty!

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 manually delete obviously crap articles, or close articles that don't fit the format. For crap edits, they can be undone in the history tab of each article. I need to do a little work in making rollbacks easier though. If I get a lot of traffic,…

Oh man. You are going to get a lot of traffic. Please do something to block a spammer's ip. Have a flag button and do a soft delete it after a certain number of flags. Soft delete because you can review to make sure its actually crap and not the top item in your page :) Good luck

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.

Nice and very fast. Could you give us more info on what stack did you use to develop/deploy this?

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
