Until someone does you can use the following HNSearch queries: [1], [2] and [3] (roughly best to wrost). Note that you'll get HN apps along with HN clones.

[1] https://www.hnsearch.com/search#request/submissions&q=%22hac...

[2] https://www.hnsearch.com/search#request/submissions&q=show+%...

[3] https://www.hnsearch.com/search#request/submissions&q=%22sho...

Edit: [2] finds this 'Show HN: Hacker News for "Hacker News for 'X'"': https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5436841.

Edit 2: Improved the search queries.

That's reddit, really.

Ironically, there is already a HN subreddit.

But it's join-by-approval only and there's nothing there.

There's also http://www.reddit.com/r/hackerjerk

I don't think so. From my understanding he is talking about a HN clone that only allows posts about new HN clones.

Yes, that's what I meant. And this would beg for a Meta version of itself, although I'm not sure what that could be..

No kidding. And, be sure to rip off the entire look and feel with only a color change.

Seems like there should be at least a little shame with these Hacker News for X sites.

It's not really "ripping off" anything given that the structure and css are included with the Arc distro which a lot of these sites appear to be using.

Yeah, maybe it's the idea of taking that CSS/structure and creating an exact clone of HN for some specific niche that lacks originality in my book.

well, to be fair, if this is any indication of how deeply integrated markup, data and code are in an Arc application, making any kind of changes to the rendered document would be potentially horribly painful: https://github.com/wting/hackernews/blob/master/html.arc

(sorry... I'm sure people think this is awesome because zomg Lisp but in any other language it would be derided as "spaghetti code")

That's pretty bad.

So, what we're saying is these guys are merely using the open source Arc webapp that HN is using and changing a few styles?

If so, that's actually not dishonorable and more like just starting a niche community with forum software.

And, I have been educated.

Wow, Lisp is pretty gross. There just doesn't look like a whole lot of order there, and it looks pretty annoying to write.

I do wonder if there's such a thing as a web framework in a Lisp, Arc or what have you, with templating and a url router and all that. Or if that's even possible. Or if the Lisp community would recoil in horror at the very thought.

I mean I know (as far as I know) this was pg's pet project and it's taken off like nothing i've written ever has, but I can't see it selling a blub like me on the language. Nothing makes me want to touch a Lisp less than seeing it.
