So I take it from the comments that, "We'll be back shortly. Our servers are over capacity and certain pages may be temporarily unavailable. We're incredibly sorry for the inconvenience." is not the embarrassing flaw?

I really wish they'd show me what I can run on Koi (links to current sites). I know they make deployment a snap, but I worry that I'd be forced to add more and more resources to keep my site running as I'd hope.

Why do these observations of a site being down get downvoted so harshly? The observation is accurate for him, and it could be for everyone...
If you're going to take the time to post a "hey is this down" comment, at least link to the site's google cache or something. Otherwise it's just noise.

Ah, my other unreleased side project has come to light. Time to add some login screens, then :-)
Analytk's a pet real-time blog tracking site I wrote because I was thoroughly dissatisfied with the typical ones. It tracks each post individually, updating every minute to begin with (exponential backoff after 1 hour, not truncated). It also picks up HN and reddit ranks and scores, and tweets. It's only half-finished. Please be nice.

Because they're trite. For example, it seems like whenever somebody posts an article about databases, there's a comment saying, "Whoops, looks like your database doesn't scale after all! Haha". Similar versions (such as this) for web hosting, etc. If you're going to take the time to post a "hey is this down" comment, at least link to the site's google cache or something. Otherwise it's just noise.

#40Its obvious flaws are having no animation to speak of and minimal tutorialization, but in comparison to the bloated things I've worked on in the past, it was a breakthrough performance. A game in five-six days of work. I'm going to start on another one, now... hopefully I will finish around the 25th :)
