We're on the front page of some major sites so things are blowing up a little bit, but we should have it sorted out soon!

Thanks for your patience!

- A frantic HyperDev developer

View on HN

I'm excited to see this in fruition. I don't know how much of a concern this is but https://hyperdev.com/about/ loads an attachment (mime/octet-stream). I've never seen this behavior before so I didn't download it. Win 10, FF 46.0.1

Oops, good catch, a CloudFront misconfiguration pushing the fix now.

Same issue for me on android. In my case, it wont even download, just sits there waiting for information.

Edit: Posted then the fix appeared. Love the speedy response to everything here.

Getting 503 error on hyperdev.com.

> {"status":"Error","statusCode":503,"statusDetail":"Waiting To Serve for cosmic-panther: No service found running on port"}

Nice sense of humour at least ;)

cosmic-panther is your random word set for your instance.

Your site also didn't work the two times I tried to use it after it was first on HN. It has to be a lot more reliable.

You sent everyone an email[1] to participate in the discussion, and after this an over-capacity message[2] is a bit disappointing because it seems like you did expect the attention this time. On the other hand, I know that things can go wrong and I wish you a quick recovery and all the success.

edit: BTW I reloaded the page and the error disappeared but now the whole thing is unresponsive.

I think that's a little bit unfair. HN posts can be a giant hit-or-miss in terms of popularity.

But this isn't the first time they are popular on HN. This attention should give them more motivation to upgrade the servers, at least.

If it's not the first time they have issues like that, being them I'd have load tested before posting and promoting again.

But tradeoffs and stuff!

Sure, but a "new thing" from Spolsky et al is something that's more likely to have traction.
