Hi guys,
DataTau has been down for more than a month. We tried to contact Rohit on Twitter and offered him our help to maintain or host the site, but got no answer, so we understood the project is over and decided to make 'a clone of the clone' on a .net domain.
We have been working on setting up a new version of the site with the same philosophy and Django based. We are not Web devs and although HN frontend looks simple, it has more features than we though. It is still missing some HN features (as original DataTau) but we are working hard to make the site better and bring the community back.
Please give it a try and report any bug you encounter.

This is cool. Do you plan to keep it running/think it will gain traction?
Sure! We want to keep it running and make it opensource :D
I would much prefer a IH clone. Good luck.
Why do you want to fork IH?
I don't want to fork IH. I am just saying, IH software is much better than HN.
