Feel free to fire me any questions about it here. Also, it is based on Telescope by Sacha Greif and Tom Coleman - which is built in MeteorJS.

Why would you do that?

Because HN is very SF centric and I know the London comunity will really benefit. Quite simply really. Not trying to create a $B company just something good for the area

Insular.

Although some sense of geographical location (configurable) next to names would actually be quite nice.

yeah, It's starting hyperlocal because that seems the easiest route. That would be good and I'll look into it

I agree on the branding (doesn't sound like its about London startups) but having seen this site for a couple of weeks now there is a nice little community there. It makes sense to create a subreddit or site for London startups as there's a big community that doesn't really have a (non-facebook) forum to communicate and share.

Thanks! it is work in progress so a few upgrades should be coming along as well

Nicely designed and really handy to cut through the clutter to get to relevant London based stories.
