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.
I second that, Cloudflare is the way to go - extremely reliable.

So you are writing new reviews for each product in a "viewpoint" kind of way? I am thinking about Metacritic and how they evaluate someone else's review but still link to it.
It's actually all crowdsourced. Anyone can add new Viewpoints, improve existing ones etc. Reviews typically go out of date very rapidly so we're building something that can be constantly updated/improved. I guess the UI has a long way to go before it's obvious how it all works. For example here is a pretty great rundown of CSS pre-processors ( http://www.slant.co/topics/217/viewpoints/1/~best-css-prepro... ). You can…
OK thank you. Actually, the Suggested Edits interface is quite good. Maybe one could also comment on the edit they have just made ala git.
A good stack to have :). What are you using for server routing and the `package.js` compilation?

#84Cool project!

#85Even 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)?
Startupli.st, AngelList and MoMB (http://momb.socio-kybernetics.net/) come to mind.

#87I would love to be able to receive the new one by mail with some presentation text.
I would love to receive an email every week with new startups. And this would be a terrific way for small startups to get the word out. There would be a moderator who would decide which startups are good enough. I would rather have the moderator decide if something's interesting enough than HN crowd.
Thats a great Idea. At the moment I trawl angel list but it's not really built for that type of interaction
Re: I'm creating a website to promote early stage sites and ideas
#88How do you pick what goes on the front page and how long it stays there? Or is it just FIFO queue with most recent on top? If so, how do you throttle it and what's the backlog? One thing that I don't like about BetaList (as a submitter) - there's no insight into whether your submission is going to be accepted and if it is, then when it's going to be featured. If you can make your site better for submitters , you will…
As a co-founder of Bitcast ( http://www.bitcast.io - the current top listed "Kickoff"), I can say the traffic from Kickoffboost has been great! For some rough data: We actually launched on HN a week ago and had about 120 concurrent visitors for a span of ~6 hours. I assume this link, at it's #1 ranking since ~10pm PST, is getting somewhere around 100-150 concurrents as well (because of the off timing). As a result, i…
How is this even remotely relevant to what I asked?
And haven't you (or someone else from your company) had posted the exact same comment earlier under a different parent, a comment that is now gone? So presumably you just "moved" it here to get it higher up on the page. That's tacky. Don't do that.

#89Is there an RSS/Atom feed of newly released apps?
Please! A RSS/Adom feed would be great, it will save time visiting the site everyday to check for new and cool stuff :)

#90Really good idea, but needs more consumer & business ideas on. Too many geek tools at the moment.
