Looks like their servers aren't quite up to the task - I'm only getting half-formed content.

I can't even get the first lesson. This is a lesson to all developers. Don't underestimate the power of HN.

I can't get the page to load, but judging by the title, this is something I desperately need as a programmer with zero aesthetic talent.

On it, fellas. We weren't expecting so many beta signups... didn't think we needed more dynos until launch ;)

Check back in a few minutes, we're already working on it.

"Application Offline for Maintenance" at 3:40 PM PST.

Edit 1: And at 3:41 PM its up. Spoke too soon.

Edit 2: And its back to a screeching halt at 3:42 PM.

Edit 3: Ups and downs. Works for 1-2 minutes and then breaks. 4:15 pm. I still haven't managed to read a whole lesson. Its a slow day so I'll check again in half an hour.

Site took a long time to load, but when it did, I gladly signed up. Got my first email already.

Really looking forward to this, thanks.

* Edit, It appears that the video "Objectified" (Or at least the preview) is not available to rent from YouTube in Canada. "The uploader has not made this video available in your country." :(

I don't have time to try renting it right now, but I'll test it this weekend. Perhaps only the trailer is unavailable. Can anyone test/confirm?

Super slow to load the page and just got an application error.

Looks nice, hopefully I'll get on and learn a thing or two :)
