A few things: 1. Thanks for posting my blog post @chippy. :) The actual app ( haternews.co ) kept getting booted off HN... 2. There have been a lot of interesting comments on the three threads on here. People pointed out some bugs and overall issues which I will be fixing (also, the site should not crash half as much now). This is just a fun side project I have been messing around with so I can get better at using da…
