I'm looking for a solution to create a Reddit / Hacker News clone and wonder whether NodeBB could do this or not. So basically I want a list of links/topics ranked by the upvotes and comments they get. (I don't find number of views particularly interesting to generate this ranking.) I assume it's very much possible if you put effort into it but how much would then be needed? Or does NodeBB's structure conflict with this in any way? I would also like the interface to be as minimal as possible, have a look at Hacker News as reference.

Thanks for your replies! I later found out about Telescope which does exactly what I'm looking for.
