Where is the Hacker News source code?

I'd like to play around with the HN source, does anyone know where an updated repo lives?

http://arclanguage.org there is a tar file under the install link and the news source is in there. Others in the community have ports etc on github. Check out the forum on the arclang site.

Thanks. That doesn't appear to be the latest HN though (no search for example)

That's right: It lags the site by quite a bit and it's missing a number of "secret sauce" features that PG doesn't want people to know how to game.

I'm pretty certain search is done using an outside service and is not in the released source...
