Hacker Views is a social platform for developers, inspired by Hacker News, designed to give more data to users about their posts.

Note

Things will be changing quite a bit. The current version is just a rough prototype. If any sort of community forms, I will set up a Slack and potentially an Email list. For general inspiration on running a community, see Open Source Guides.
