If this goes anywhere, sure. Traffic jumped a LOT faster than I'd expected, so I'm running ads briefly to try to get a feel for what their impact will be vs. costs. Heroku is a nice platform, but it's pricey, especially for a hobby project with no monetization strategy.

#54Someone wrote about it on TNW and my poor little Heroku instance exploded. I'm gonna move import to a background worker and see if that helps matters.
Kinda curious how you thought this was going to go down :)

Honestly? Small-scale "Oh hey, that's neat" response followed by obscurity resulting in a tool that I have for my personal use and not much else. :P

Advertising figures gathered at this stage and traffic level will be relatively meaningless compared to something larger so you will have to re-test later if you want to get a real feel.
Likely CRTs and income (and ECPm) will drop off sharply as it gets bigger.

Yeah. I realized that about an hour in, and turned them off for the time being.

#60That's definitely the can-do, spontaneous hacker spirit! But aren't there already like 90 delicious clones out there?
