Our VPS is on fire - we didn't expect this kind of traffic. However our app is on heroku and running fine : http://engine.theappifier.com

#34You need to move this site to a host that can handle the load today. I'm getting timeouts and finally got the home page to load. I can't get any of the other pages to load either.

#35Very very nice concept. Would attract so many WP site owners who want to have an app. Please share some technical and transition stories. Also is the homepage a little slow, or just me?

Do you need a beefier VPS? I can have it deployed fairly quickly. LMK (not looking for compensation for this).

#36Nice demo video, although I am not sold on the idea people want or need to consume blogs natively on their phones. But, hey, hat tip for testing the idea in real time :)

#37Congratulations! I am sure its a proud moment after taking the big step in life :).
A nice concept as well (btw, the hackernews effect is slowing down/timing out your site).
On a tangential note (maybe), are you also liking running the startup (a company)? I am sure developing the product would have been an awesome experience, but when it comes to manage and run the company it calls for something else. How are you liking that?

#38Nice idea. I'd be interested to know (and if you're willing to share with the community): 1. What was your job. 2. How much did you get paid. 3. How much savings(runway) do you have to support this product. Thanks!
1. I was a software engineer that got an MBA and was doing management consulting. 2. Over 80k / year 3. My runway is private, but we financed ourselves by taking on short-term iOS/Wordpress dev/design consulting gigs to stay fed.
You have to put up a blog post on this...
