Oh I'm guilty of this. So many projects that were not launched. And the easy default for us (developers) tends to be coding & building features. But even if you ship, you have to continuously ship. And by shipping, I mean, you need to continuously tell the users. You ship it, you announce it, you need to market it, send out newsletters, feedback, improve, email the users again, cold-reach-out to other users who might be interested, and on and on we go. This is why it's difficult. Are you ready to put in as much work into these non-technical work? I wasn't and I was certainly unaware.

Obviously HN+ is missing the single most important thing about HN, the users.
Also, did you really have to steal the name too? Would probably been better off if you called it something different.
By the way, you should read your own terms of service and maybe start following it yourself if you ask others to follow it too?

I've used this - https://adonisjs.com/ - I don't think it's "standard". Is there such a thing? I guess Express was a de-facto standard. I'm a bit biased since I come from Laravel background, so adonis feels familiar.
Express (fka Connect) is standard in the sense that the "middleware" API design was/is part of the CommonJs server-side JavaScript (SSJS) initiative [1] from which Node.js originated and insofar as you can write a middleware that plugs into Node.js' core http API and express.js at the same time since these invoke your code using the same basic callback, which was deemed desirable for portability back when Node.js wasn't the only SSJS framework around. Express/connect draws inspiration from Ruby's Sinatra/Rack and Python's WSGI, and is based on JSGI/JackJs.
As a Korean & English speaking person (Korean Australian) I've grown to love my mother tongue more as I've gotten older, spoke English more, read more Korean books, tried to analyze the differences in languages and communication approaches etc. I just "feel" Korean as a language is, so different to English - more, expressive? nuanced? I'm sure there are plenty of other languages out there that are like that. I don't know how knowing these two very different languages have helped me and shaped me, but I'm certain it's been positive.
It's a tool where you can create your own HackerNews clone. Obviously, while working on this, I had to emulate the HN ranking algorithm. But what I found is that the algorithm actually doesn't seem to work well for a "young" forums.
I had to tweak it so that on the frontpage, the posts that are more relatively recent rises to the top over older posts of higher votes. I know these are considered in the original algorithm, but I had to tweak it.
Which made me think that the algorithm should be considering the age of the community and also how active it is.
Growing up in Korea, I remember my grandmother making kimchi and then putting them in large earthenware pots and then digging large holes in the ground then putting them inside. In winter time, when it snows (that's how I remember it), she'll go out and grab some of this kimchi. The taste? I salivate now every time I think about it. To this day, I have not tasted kimchi as delicious as that - can't say it's objective. It's my nostalgia, childhood memories etc. But I'm so grateful for that taste memory.
Everyone has a different taste, but I do concur with you. Your grandma and my grandma kept to the traditional manual methods and that tastes best. The chilli peppers cultivated in Korea have a different sweeter taste IMO and the cheaper ones imported from China (while cheaper) do not hold up in terms of the sweetness and balanced spice. The earthenware pot also act as a refrigerant by being buried in the ground. Since the pot is placed below the frostline, kimchi is available through winter.
