Ask HN: Building LinkedIn clone, recommend me a stack

1 pointsby risk00011 yıl önce6 comments

I'm building a LinkedIn clone and am open to try a new language/platform/framework. What one would you recommend, how have you used it, and what is your overall impression of it compared to other tools you've worked with? Front-end and back-end suggestions welcome.

If you expect this to grow into a huge platform, as in completely replace LinkedIn, use Django, if not, use MeteorJS. Django will allow you to scale very quickly, as it is more robust. However, the learning curve for Meteor is much smaller and will allow you to get a very modern, reactive application up and running quickly.

If you are doing it as a CV showcase type thing looking for a job I would do it in C# , why are you doing it?

Use diaspora or gnu social as a framework, the code is already there and open source.
