Just out of curiosity, can someone host this somewhere and provide a link? – ripper234 May 21 '10 at 6:07

The app isn't really designed to be hosted. The best approach is to download the source and run it locally. I might drop it up on one of my public servers for a limited trial run to see how it goes. I'll post update this page with a link once I do. – Joel Potter May 21 '10 at 12:32

Doesn't this copy the look and feel of the SE sites, as forbidden in the... wait - posted by whom? :) – Nathan Osman♦ Jul 7 '10 at 4:09

This project has currently no downloads. – nyuszika7h Feb 26 '11 at 8:56
@Nyuszika7H - pull the source and build it; hand deploying the pre-built binaries is much more work. Alternatively, grab a library. This project was much more important when there weren't any other examples of API usage. – Kevin Montrose♦ Feb 26 '11 at 18:29
I downloaded the source using tortoiseHg 2.0.2 with Mercurial. After downloading while I tried opening the solution the project "D:\..\..\..\TheworldsWorst.StackOveflowClone.csproj" can not be opened. The project type is not supported by this installation. I tried with VS 2005, 2008 and 2010. Now what is not supported? Does the project miss any files? – Subhen Mar 22 '11 at 5:56
@Subhen - its an ASP.NET MVC (2, if I recall correctly off hand) project, you need to install that. – Kevin Montrose♦ Mar 22 '11 at 15:47

@user7074: You can find a list of libraries for the API (including Java ones) here. – Nathan Osman♦ Jun 24 '11 at 23:40
