I remember reading about paraschopra and Wingify on HackerStreet India - an India-centric HN rip-off that didn't work out though paraschopra was pretty active in the early days. Nice to see a corp-backed initiative in this direction. Hope this doesn't suffer the same fate.

Although !CRUD isn't another HN (despite the tagline), one reason why HN is so amazing is its unintimidating design which serves the tired mind taking a 10-minute break well. !CRUD gives a less relaxing vibe IMHO.

Thanks for the feedback on design. We used NodeBB and threaded replies is something on our agenda. HN design works really well right now because the new content posted is much greater than the discussions that happen on home page.

On notCRUD, opposite is true. Right now we want to highlight each and every discussion that happens because building a vibrant community takes time.

Makes sense, which is why I clarified that notCRUD isn't HN. I'm just overtly skeptical about engaging tech discussions in Indian forums, but this isn't a skeptic's world anymore, so hopefully notCRUD will do well.

Good luck!

Totally agree with you. Hopefully, that's something we'll manage to change just yet :)

See who posted this topic :)

Also scroll (fast) to bottom of NC page.

...which is why I mentioned him and Wingify ;)

I'd been a fan and follower of the company since I read that Wingify had succeeded (in building a good product and converting big clients) as a one man act.
