Reddit's open source strategy.

1 pointsby rwebbover 16 years ago
Thoughts on how its working out? I can't find any examples of vibrant "powered by reddit" sites. this is the best one i've seen:<p>http://lipstick.com/<p>the techcrunch technews site is completely empty:<p>http://technews.techcrunch.com/

i got the reddit code up and running for a niche site. didn't do much custom skinning since i wasn't sure how well the site was going to work out. as it turns out, it didn't work out too well (though not really because of the codebase).<p>imo, the codebase needs cleaning up, still (or at least, the version i downloaded did). it is very much reddit's source code, not a flexible open source project.<p>i haven't checked in a while, perhaps the codebase is cleaner and more sleek nowadays.
