I would re-subscribe to the HN feed if there were some option for a feed which only displays entries with X upvotes and/or X comments (and X could be specified in the options).
The general problem with subscribing to the feed is that I don't see which entries are popular and which not because stories tend to hit the frontpage rather fast on HN compared to other big sites.
For now, I just visit HN and click on a few stories on the frontpage (mostly these with many comments or upvotes).
I think HN and del.icio.us do this.
Is there some other functionality on your site that doesn't require payment?
#god this shit is disorganized and confusing
- minimize CSS & JS (especially the 124kb prototype.js file). You are using 257kb ONLY for javascript.
- gzip
- Why load each company logo on the top separate? put them all in one image file and save HTTP requests
- Unicode error in line 6: "copyright � 2007 J2Solutions" therefore not valid XHTML
Also read the "Relation to JSON" section of the 1.2 draft: http://yaml.org/spec/1.2/#id2560236
The official one: http://planet.python.org/ The unofficial one: http://planetpython.org/
both are great.
I don't know how much more load SSL would cause but a good solution would be to just use HTTPS for the login and then redirect back to the HTTP, like Twitter does.
I've been using Dreamhost for a while now (to host my blog) and it has been pretty much okay but I wouldn't host any critical stuff on it.
WebFaction (http://www.webfaction.com) and Slicehost (http://www.slicehost.com) are pretty popular lately (although not _that_ cheap). I would probably go with webfaction for a django app.
