I'm building HN alternative =)

this is why i think having different communities is a nice thing.

I guess this is pretty much the point people don't like. I will redo the the registration.
Re:Crow Watch: A Hacker News Alternative on Tuesday March 10, 2026 @12:15PM (#47325244)
The offline community does not have a problem with spammers/impersonators. For online communities this is much more difficult. I don't know what kind of struggle and filtering HN implemented to deal this it. But I do not want to build complicated anti-abuse systems. Right now registration is open, after certain size i will "restrict" registrations.

The https://crow.watch is heavily inspired by lobster. basically same algorithm, same flagging, amd tag filtering. one key difference is [show] tag with dedicated "Show" page. A feature from HN, which lobster does not have. Invite-only where is only to prevent spam in the future. I will rephrase the login page. Will make it "open" and as we see spammers will close down.

those looks not very promising.

building a community is hard. but i'm dedicated to a building a small tech community anyway.

this is why i'm investing into building crow.watch.

I was a lobster user for 7y. but i find it now way to big, and moderation is strange sometimes. I think, having an additional community is nice. No need to concentrate everybody in one or two website. And there are multiple communities already! I thought I can build one with not such restrictive self-promo rules as on lobster.

yes, crow watch focus is tech and computers only

> Comments need protection, otherwise you get bombarded with spam. That alone is a ridiculous amount of "hard".

This is not that hard. But your mileage may vary.

> Comments need a database, that is objectively harder than using Jekyll or the other examples you give.

Are we engineers or not?

> But the statement that it's not hard is objectively false.

Yes, I agree.

People spend hours polishing personal websites. I want to encourage building comments systems! This is as fun and as valuable!

What is it?

we may be interested in it.

how does it handle very bad internet connection on-prem?

Show HN: Currency Rates on GitHub Pages

https://currency-rates.github.io/

Hi HN, I’m Anton. I built currency-rates.github.io, a small open project that shows currency exchange rates and can also be used as a free API. I started this because I was always struggling to find a reliable currency API without auth or API keys, most APIs need signup, keys, have limits, or later become paid, which is bad for small projects. My idea was to collect rates from multiple public...
