Just saw it and figured I'd pass it along. It's a topic specific niche I'd like to see more of. I'm sure the same is to be said for bitcoin enthusiasts and other random trend like that.

Hacker news for x is a funny concept by itself, but part of reddit's appeal for me is all about the subreddits. If someone wants to take the time to setup a topic specific niche why not?

I don't mind seeing a "HN for xyz" site, but it bugs me when the design is exactly the same as HN.

Hacker News is open source, it's likely running the same code.

Hi Karan. I am the person hosting DataTau. I completely understand what you're saying.

First, news.arc's style is something that people are used to and comfortable with; it's tried and tested. I decided not to reinvent the wheel.

But perhaps more importantly, I'm not a web developer. If I have to learn how to build a news site from scratch, I might as well wait and see if there is a requirement for it in the first place, right?

Thanks! I wanted to wait before I posted it on Hacker News, but sooner the better I guess.
