Pathetic? It perfectly accomplishes my goal: you'll remember it. (Edit: Sigh. Now I remember why I have a rule of not commenting on Hacker News anymore.)

#43I think the most interesting thing about whatever Dustin does is the hype he's able to build around it—I'm consistently impressed, and wonder if he might not be as effective as a promoter as he is a designer.

#46If the domain name is invite only, is there any chance that the code will be open source so other people can run their own version of svbtle?
It's working I suppose. And the "invite only" system sure helps drive desire.

#50I wonder how many people gave kudos to the post by mistake? I know I did and there's no way to remove the kudos you gave afterwards. User actions should be a click not a hover.
Personally I think it's bad UX, but what do I know; I'm not Dustin Curtis.
