I'm upvoting partly because it seems a cool idea, but partly because I'm scientifically interested in what'll happen to goog docs with multiple concurrent users; valuable for knowing how it responds re using in live environments for user feedback.

The answer is "badly"

Around 50 or so active concurrent users it really starts to fail. No doubt some of the others can better quantify/qualify my general remark.

We should rename this "Google Docs Scaling Performance Test" and watch the upvotes grow.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Rules? I don't understand.

YC might not love us making public a list of applicants. Less so promoting it on HN.

if anything it showcases the hacker/startup spirit. i'm sure if it's a problem we'll find out somehow

I watched in semi-real-time as it switched into simple-viewing mode due to high traffic; the threshold appeared to be roughly 120 to 125.

Not sure if this is kosher, but lots of people were curious. Please don't hurt us.

This reminds me of the other thread where pg wants to moderate more strongly RMS posts ( http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1861577 ).

Maybe have RMS implemented in a way similar to the Ask HN section: they get a penalty, but also a dedicated namespace where people can up-vote them inside the HN voting system.

This is as close you will get to using HN as an online interface in order to rank the entries in this spreadsheet.
