It sounds like you're trying to advocate for turning Pullup into a CMS. Not a bad idea, but I'd like to know what we'd be doing differently from, say, Discourse.
Personally, I feel that Pullup has started to fail mostly because it didn't set lofty enough goals for itself from the get-go. This could be that lofty goal we need to get Pullup going again.

π I think it's important to realize that even though we say that the site is a "clone" of HN/DN/Reddit, it actually serves a different population. The pull request requirement forces the user base to be, in some capacity, technical.
HN has a lot of great technical posts, but it also has a lot of startup/business posts because their users are startup focused. DN has great design focused users and content. Reddit has a little of everything, but the user base is segmented.
None of them are fully open source, allowing the users to change the site itself. We can fill the niche of users who want HN/DN/reddit that they can develop and be a part of.
The API focus is actually a fantastic idea. Right now the codebase is mostly front-end work. Developing a public API would introduce a focus on the back-end and expand on the type of devs that can contribute.
I am +1 on starting a conversation about the structure of a public API.

@megamattron I think this can be closed in favor of #367.
