#32Cool 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.
Even easier would be to setup cloudflare in front of the site. All you have to do is set the cache control headers for your landing page to something like "max-age=300, public". That way cloudflare's servers will eat the vast majority of your requests, but no one will see content older than a few minutes. We got HN'd the other day and this kept our median response time around 25ms, even for our slow rails app. Of cou…
+1 for Cloudflare. I use them for my site and responsiveness has never been better. Their service is truly excellent.

#35Earlier quoted context omitted.
Are there other similar sites that you could name (either for closed or open betas)?
http://www.reddit.com/r/sideproject Note: I moderate r/SideProject. This subreddit has similar content to "Show HN," but each link spends more time on the front page. It is also a good place to test submission titles before posting to HN.
I've already posted my side project in another subreddit, is it bad form to post it in r/SideProject as well?

Submit the link to your project in r/SideProject. It is definitely not bad form, since it is a subreddit for sharing side projects.

#38Okay, 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.
Hi, I'm trying to manage lots of things right now. Kind of overwhelmed. But I just approved your request.
Would be real cool if you share what kind of traffic you got from there in a day. Thanks!

#39Could you also add the stats for hits on a particular item...
That's exactly what I'm working on :D
I'm planning to work all those stats into an algo that would reward better ideas.
Will keep you posted. Thanks!

#40step 1: get traffic for your site (kickoffboost.com) first. step 2: nah do step 1 first.
step 2: plant links in echo chamber
step 3: nah, nothing happens, but everyone feels really good about themselves
