Hubski is a social networking and discussion site, built by Mark Katakowski.[3][4][5] A month after creating the site, Katakowski was joined by Steve Clausnitzer, another Ann Arbor resident.[6][7]
Hubski has been designed as alternative to Reddit.[8] In addition to sharing content from around the web, users are encouraged to share their own original content.[9] Hubski started out as a clone of Hacker News, and is still written in Arc, the dialect of Lisp created by Paul Graham.[2]
Features[edit]
Hubski has a variety of features to help users share content; some of them are commonly found on other aggregators, some not so often:
- Mechanisms for filtering by tags, users, and domains[10]
- Embedding magnet links[11]
- RSS feeds for users, topics, and new posts[12]
- Personal tags for posts[13]
- Per-user configurable themes[14]
- Responsive design to accommodate users of varying screen sizes
