Ask HN: Fellow Germans - Why don't we have a German version of HN?

[theschnabler]

Seriously - why hasn't anyone built this?

If you're the one asking the question, the hacker ethic probably asks, "Why haven't YOU built it already?" ;)

[cjbenedikt]

why build it? isn't HN good enough for everyone?? just use it?

[chunsaker]

HN isn't in German. Not everyone works/learns/wants to spend all day in English

[claudius]

The number of people who do not use English all day in a tech/science environment is rather low, and the number of people willing to trade a global community against one speaking German is probably even smaller.

[theschnabler]

it isn't as much about the language. it's more about the content.

[theschnabler]

plain and simple: because i'm a terrible developer.
