Author here. Thanks for all the feedback, very much appreciated, I wasn't expecting this. Feel free to email me if you have questions you'd like to take off-list (email in profile).

Some stats, which may be useful for anyone doing a Show HN soon and wondering about volumes:

- 11k visits at the time of writing (3 hours in)

- 71% of hits so far are from the Americas (hit the California server), 29% from elsewhere (hit the London server). Given the time in Europe, there is significant bias here though.

- 6.7% of hits used IPv6

- 76% used Chrome, second place was FF at 11%
