Show HN: Open-source StackOverflow-like service

I even wrote a rails console-like equivalent for the older version[1]. Didn't get time to write a new one though. Will be a good addition to the generator I think.

Kudos for effort, but for the life of me I cannot understand why the hell is "load empty shell of a page and then asynchronously fetch bits and pieces of content, ruining the UI along the way" is so prevalent these days.

I know how you feel. I live in Mexico now, and the internet connections in these parts are terrible. It's given me a whole new perspective after coming from cheap 100 mbit back home. Sometimes I get confused with pages like this, only to later realize that the main content wasn't loaded yet.

Isn't StackOverflow open source?
