Ask HN: A place like HN but with more nerdy stuff and less social stuff?

If anybody wants an easy way to set up their own HN, may I suggest taking a look at Telescope?

http://telesc.pe/

It's a real-time, open source HN clone built on Meteor, with features like invite-only mode, notifications, and a lot more stuff.

And since it's open source, if something is missing you can always code it yourself and contribute it back to the project.

This is pretty cool! I've been working with Meteor for a few weeks, but haven't heard of it before.

Forking!

How do you install meteorite? I can't get this working!

Frustrated!

Thanks. I got this far after posting my comment. Figured out I needed NodePackageManager. I hate when instructions say npm and dont say what npm means. Now I am getting another error when I run mrt inside the telescope folder. I am working on it.. I love this. I spent weeks trying to get newscloud going, but never did...

Text is dispersed too much. I prefer HN because you can read a lot more in a packed space.

Does this have karma style points for users?
