One thing that struct me about your site (apart from being a good list, well done!) is how blazingly fast (close to HN, which I find funny) the page loads. Could you fill us mere mortals in on how the fuck you got it so fast?

Looks like fastly: $ host www.hnreads.com www.hnreads.com is an alias for global-nossl.fastly.net. global-nossl.fastly.net has address 23.235.44.204

it's a simple js view for a 1.4mb json file, so "you got it so fast" really just depends on how quickly you will download that 1.4mb file.

  I mean the initial http response, not even the speed of the subsequent ajax.

    That's not really much to do with me - the credit there lies with fastly! This was the first time I've used a CDN, and I had a great experience using them. Highly recommended.

It looks like it loads all the data on the initial page load. After that, it's a SPA app and all the links are just drawing local data.
