#13This is awesome! I just submitted Coindega (https://www.coindega.com)

#14Cool idea. I might suggest creating a static version of your site and hosting it on s3. This will make it much more stable if you have a high read rate. Then you can point the new submissions to a app server or something. You don't have to get fancy with this or anything, a simple 'wget -r http://www.kickoffboost.com/' and upload that to a s3 bucket, etc.

I just fixed it. Thanks so much for pointing it out!
I shared kickoffboost on hackernews just to see if anybody would be interested in this kind of thing. I'm getting so much traffic now and I was not prepared for it at all.

Just Signed up and Submitted our new online event ticketing system Yapsody.com on your website. Hope you approve it. :)

#18Even though I'm already subscribed to betali.st and erlibird, I just can't seem to get enough of sites like this. Bookmarked.
Are there other similar sites that you could name (either for closed or open betas)?

#19Looks nice! Maybe site screenshots should be clickable to make it more likely people will open each submission?

#20Okay, I'll go for it. I'm very curious to see how the traffic will compare to Hacker News. Yesterday I put a link to my company (http://algorithmic.ly) in a comment and the response was overwhelming. I've heard that traffic from different sources can behave drastically differently in terms of conversions, and HN is notoriously bad with conversions, so I wonder how it will compare.
