Why not? in the mean time I just did it as an experiment that came out as a comment on freenode ##frontend, if it goes well in a month or so, I will take some time from my current paid work to create a custom theme for this site. Empty hopes? do you have data to confirm that? little effort? we are not that experts as you Also I will just drop this just here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minimum_viable_product Thanks…

I think you misunderstand MVP. It's not using somebody else's code and slapping a new domain on it without doing a little effort to customize. Even MVP landing pages look different . And, I think you misunderstand MVP. Instead of getting offensive at critical people - you should rather treasure feedback, especially negative - the guys with the positive feedback (possibly) already bought in. Again, when I see a websit…

The looks of up/down arrows are inconsistent between homepage and comments. The buttons on the homepage on the right are too big and not modern-looking. Background of a comment and page should not differ (unless you have a fix wid…

I'm not offended, thanks for the extra feedback :)

Although I do want to point out that Telescope also comes with a minimally styled base theme that was specifically made to let people customize it however they want: http://telescope-base.meteor.com/

Whoa, good work! Bookmarked

Thanks! :)

This is the first hn clone i've bookmarked :)

I wanted to try MeteorJS, personal preference

I'm sure. By the way, this is the second time I'm bringing this on Hacker News - it's Meteor, not MeteorJS. Please, honor the branding that the authors have chosen (after a careful consideration).

Got it, Meteor.
