I tend to hover over links on aggregator sites like this, and find the nomadler.com/out?url=http[...] kind of annoying. I'd suggest making the href the actual URL. If you want to route people through /out, I think you can just hijack the click event.

You're right, I'm using the default Telescope functionality/behaviour right now, but it's something I'd definitely implement in future, thanks!

Please add an RSS feed. Doesn't have to be anything fancy, I'll take a 'firehose' feed if that's all that's available.

I'll try to create one. Your can follow a curated Twitter-account of Nomadler in a meanwhile - https://twitter.com/nomadler

there already is one at http://nomadler.com/feed.xml

you should look at your telescope packages. also, what kind of box are you hosting it on? hows the performance?

Oh, thanks! I'm hosting it on DigitalOcean. Honestly I'm designer and I worked all this Meteor / Telescope stuff together by myself and not sure how should I respond to the performance question :D How can I measure it so it'll be helpful for you?

well, i'm kind of in the same boat... what size node is it on, and how many users can it support? also, you may want to check out the "meteor hacks cluster" package. it allows meteor to take advantage of multiple cores.

Please add a proper font stack. The design doesn't break down nicely on systems without Helvetica Neue installed.

Other than that, good start!

Do you mind to take a screenshot please? I'll appreciate it very much!

thank you very much, going to make a deploy once HN traffic will calm down! :)

Oops... forgot to mention this was Chrome on a Windows 7 machine.

Fixed! Thanks!

Looks like a lot of inspiration borrowed from producthunt? Granted you could probably say that about any site with the ability to contribute a link and upvote content.

Yes, I'm an active user of Designer News and Product Hunt, so I've got a lot of inspiration from them (mostly Designer News).

Nomadler build using Telescope and their tagline on the website is "Build and customize your very own Hacker News, Reddit, or Product Hunt!" :)

When will we get an HN for monads?

1. $ git clone https://github.com/TelescopeJS/Telescope

2. Change title to monadsNews

3. $ meteor deploy monadsNews.meteor.com

4. Profit?

probably about the same time that haskell agrees to leave the academia and discover the real world

So 2008[0] then?

The only thing that renders in Lynx is an RSS link. So I have no idea what this is, but it's not accessible. Edit: Just viewed source and wish I could unsee it. Meteor.js :/

It's 2015. Why are you browsing the web with Lynx, and why should anyone design for the incredibly small population of people like you?

Because it's the standard terminal browser, and it works well for reading the vast majority of web content that I care about in the terminal.

No one is saying to design for Lynx; while in the minority, much more than the "incredibly small" Lynx community cares about websites degrading to better than a blank screen when Javascript is either turned off or broken.
