This project is built on the Stamplay platform to show you how to build your own clone of Hacker News in just 30 minutes.

Hacker News is a popular social news website focusing on computer science and entrepreneurship. If you’re hacker or work in the startup space, you’ve almost certainly heard of it and perhaps even contribute to it!
