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

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?
Hacker News is open source, it's likely running the same code.
Have a link to source code?
>exactly the same as HN
One of the first noticeable aspects of the site is how much harsher on the eyes a pure white background is compared to the #f6f6ef used at HN.
here's one that isn't the same style http://devmaster.net :)
