We previously launched a client-side only proof of concept, that would show the potential of the idea.

When the launch was successful we started building the proper version, with usernames, curation (hiding of posts) and proper OAuth.

After FB auth I get the Sad Wiki. Landing page makes it look interesting though!

I'm getting a nasty feeling FB is throttling... will investigate.

I think I might have resolved this issue. Could you try again?

curious - what was the definition of "success" that you used from the launch post?

most of the positive feedback I see is from people saying it has a nice UI.

We considered success as the sort of "viral" PR we got, people mentioning it in blogs, articles, etc.

We also collected a lot of emails from people interested in a paid version with more features.
