Previously discussed, but I think that first submission fell off the frontpage early because it linked directly to the vapeserver which instantly died under load: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45243800
I'm suddenly randomly curious about the backend (or frontend?) tools y'all folks use to do this sorta thing here on HN (and to manage the site in general). Is it web-based like the site itself, or CLI? GUI even? I presume the whole thing is mostly database-driven "under the hood" like a lotta these kinda sites, yeah?
As an ex-web designer, it's always fascinated me; the many different approaches people have come up with to managing various web properties, despite the core similarities underlying them all.
