Introduce Lambdahackers - A Reddit-like community for programmers.

Hi, I'm working on Lambdahackers which is a Reddit-like community for programmers to share and discuss.

I learned a lot here, talked with some awesome people, so I'm thrilled to hear your thoughts on it.

It's 100% open source, code here: https://github.com/tiensonqin/lambdahackers.

    What is it solving that Reddit doesn't? The thing about Reddit is that the audience is already there and you're free to niche down as much as you want. I'm on a bunch of subreddits that are language or technology specific. That's a good model because 99% of programmers may not care about a new JSON parsing library for Scala but I do, and I can find that stuff on r/Scala.

    What is the killer feature that is going bring people like me to your site?

      Thanks for your reply!

      Every programming community set up a discourse forum. I think the reason is that they want to focus on programming.

      Several guys told me that writing a markdown file and publish it using git with their favorite editor is enjoyable.

      Btw, another reason I don't like Reddit very much is that it always prompts me to use the app, I prefer web.
