Not sure what the OP means by the term "clone" in the title. I'm pretty sure the source code for the Hacker News website is proprietary and can't be cloned, at least in the usual sense.
It's not a feature-complete clone intended to replace or compete with HN in any way, "HN clone" is just a popular term for an interface that lets you interact with HN live data.
Many coders have implemented such a project as a way of demonstrating their framework or exploring an approach as I have.
