Whatever happened to The Coral Cache? It seemed like such a great idea, but I have a 0% success rate with it. I suppose I've answered my own question, but did it ever work? Am I using it wrong?

And if it's simply that it can't fetch overwhelmed sites any better than we can, then could we help it by pinging it automatically for any link submitted to HN, enabling it to populate its cache before the hordes arrive?

Generally sticking a CDN automatically in front of any site posted isn't great because you're taking away all the potential ad revenue and flattening any dynamically generated elements to the site blindly.

That wasn't the proposal. The proposal was to warm the CDN's cache.

Give it a good 1-2 hours and bookmark it in the meanwhile.
