I hope you know what you are getting into running a service like this - have a look at some of http://pastebin.com/archive for inspiration.

Wow, I'd never looked at this before but there's some interesting stuff popping up in there. I think people believe Pastebin is more private than it actually is because in the 30 seconds I scanned through, I saw a Data Dump on a small E-commerce website and some other interesting stuff...

Stumbled on an error when going to /r of my url:

    Warning: file_get_contents() [function.file-get-contents]: Filename cannot be empty in /var/www/hackerhub/index.php on line 129

Interesting, I've had a similar idea, but different: you download a command line tool and publish your local .md (markdown) files with it under some name, like:

  $ p register 
  $ vim content.md
  $ p publish .md # gets published under .domain.com/

I didn't know if people would find this useful, but judging from reactions to this, it looks like there might be a market for it

Is there a way to force a cache update or does this limit you to (at most) one daily new item?

If you've made changes to your profile, you may force a refresh by pointing your browser to hackerhub.org/r/yourid.

Thanks, missed that. Will put it in a post-commit hook.

The font you've chosen is missing some characters. http://j.hackerhub.org/unicode

perhaps one could categorize pages, eg, I mentioned something here about creating a UIpalette http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3060902 - could you pivot around that? Make the site a destination to find new content.

What browser are you using? I can see all the characters. They have specified 'sans-serif' (which most of the times means Helvetica).

I don't think I understand. You post content elsewhere, and then this mirrors it?

I think the point is that you write your content in Markdown, the structure of your site in JSON, and this generates and serve HTML with a decent CSS. Interesting for programmers who want to quickly publish content without bothering with presentation. It's like Jekyll or Nanoc for busy (or lazy) people.

I'm on Chrome 13 and yes, I see all characters too, but Ż, ž, č, ą and ę are displayed in a fall-back sans-serif font. All others using Istok Web, as defined in the CSS. It doesn't look good.
