Hacker News Reader

It has! It's at Rackspace and I'm working on getting it on the largest server they have.

Didn't expect to hit the front page.

Would you mind telling how much traffic (e.g. visits per hour from HN) you get when your article hit the front page?

I got 10k overnight when I put www.jobstractor.com on as a show hn a couple of weeks back. That was at the top spot for about 3 hours. NB, overnight to me in UK is obviously not overnight for majority of HN readers.

I'm hosting it on the smallest linode instance going with nginx caching responses and I'm serving almost no images so that worked perfectly for me.

Thanks for your information.
