Ask HN: What tech stack would you pick to rebuild HN today?

2•bodash•2h ago
Hacker News is famously built with Arc[^1] and I know that users don't care about your tech stack[^2]. BUT, I'm really interested to know, if you had to rebuild HN today, what tech stack would you choose? (the answer is very unlikely to be Arc, right?)

This is to consider all the existing features of HN (auth, comments, updates, text-heavy, etc) but also the "hidden" features like content moderation, filtering bots, shadowbaning, high availability, API, and etc.

Personally, I think Go + HTMX + PostgreSQL + Redis can go a long mile, but I could be missing hindsights

If I had to build it myself? Probably something like:

Spring Boot, HTMX, Postgresql, Valkey, Solr

I built a HN clone with just Django two years ago.

Unfortunately it's in a private repo. I built it for a client who wanted to build a HN clone for an E-commerce audience. It never took off.

Didn't help that that they had me add a pay wall to it.
