Neat, neat, neat. Will there be a directory?

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.

Great idea! Any ideas of how such a categorization could look like?

just create them on-the-fly as submitted. The problem will be spam, I would have an API key that's created upon captcha signup that's attached to a submission, and opens up new capabilities. Maybe too complicated.

Ideally I could create a plugin, that would load a new random page from category UI after every press, then at the top of the browser would display some metadata attached to a page, like a "further info" link.

Perhaps you could create a category tree that users populate, and then allow random tags to associate -- like YT videos - choose a category but then attach madeup tags - that would be best.

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...

I wish I could tell this guy that he needed to install libevent :(

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

Did you check the validity of your JSON?

Yessir.

When you got to a URL that doesn't exist instead of throwing a 404 error it just throws an PHP error!

Earlier quoted context omitted.

It is open source (be aware that the [sourcecode]( https://bitbucket.org/saibotd/hackerhub/src ) is not pretty) > add some basic federation How? Any ideas?

In a sense, you already have, by requiring the content to be hosted elsewhere and releasing the pulling code. There is beauty in simple tools like this one. Kudos.

Yes. And i must say that the code is very small and well written.

Well, it is a bit different to pastebin as with hackerhub you need to host the content by yourself. That said I am sure there are plenty of ways to abuse the service ;)

I'm sure that when the service kicks off he will figure out the possible solutions to abuse

Oops, thanks! Should be fixed now
