Thanks :)

It uses my own mini-framework for Google App Engine. This comment has more details: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2916803

Ah, didn't implement that yet. I'll get to work on that :)

Hi SudarshanP,

I voted you down because I thought it was spam, sorry. I've undone my vote now so you are back to 0. When I voted there was just one item with a link, and it looked like someone just wanted to advertise their online store.

Your article seems fine for the site. An optimum article would be more than just a list of links though.

Ideally, I want articles to become full-fledged, comprehensive articles. Like the article for "Reasons to Quit Smoking". In time, I hope that article can become a comprehensive resource of all the best reasons to quit smoking. Then someone who is trying to quit smoking can use that article as motivation to quit.

I'll be working on a commenting system so that in the future it'll be easier to discuss this type of thing on the actual article page.

Thanks for trying out the site and providing feedback! And sorry again for thinking it was spam.

Thanks. I'll probably write about the implementation once I get some spare time. I got a lot of great feedback today that I'll be busy implementing for a while :)

Thanks for your advice and compliments :)

I was debating between calling them "lists" or "articles", and decided on "articles" because my hope is that over time they will become full-fledged articles (true that my domain name makes that a bit confusing). Paul Graham's article on "the 18 mistakes that kill startups" (http://www.paulgraham.com/startupmistakes.html) is the type of article I am shooting for with Listry. Where each item of the article has 1 or more in-depth paragraphs of explanation or details.

Thanks :)

It's developed with the dynamic language Groovy, on Google App Engine. Here's a comment with some more details: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2916803

Thanks, that happened because a troll overwrote the entry for Vim with junk text, and then the people added vim because they didn't see it.

I've manually merged their entries with the main vim entry.

Thanks :)

I've seen that site before. Mine's more about creating comprehensive articles rather than just a list. Something where each item of the article has paragraph(s) of detail.

Something like Paul Graham's article, "18 Mistakes that Kill Startups" (http://www.paulgraham.com/startupmistakes.html) would be an ideal Listry article.

Thanks! Spam edits can be reverted in the history tab, there's still more work I need to do to make that easier though. Spam articles can be voted down, and that will take them off the front pages, and I can manually delete them. I'll probably need to have a "flag article" link down the road though.

Thanks! I really appreciate your support :)

Your other article, "Best Text Editors for Programming", is a perfect article for Listry I think. The Cambridge coffee shops one would be good if there were a lot of Listry users that lived in Cambridge and could vote on it, I'm not sure there are enough though.

Your feature request is a good idea, I'll keep it in mind for down the road.
