This was one of the most downloaded apps from all time. Went from zero to gazillions of requests in a single day. Nobody could have planned this. Com'on these guys are great.
- learningman 10y agoGreat point. They created an MVP, it worked, and then put resources in when and where the needs declared themselves (stability, scaling...).
- zzguy 10y agoYeah the negativity here is overwhelming. Which, isn't surprising, HN's comment section isn't the cheeriest place on the internet. But seriously, for a tech news aggregator you'd think more of the users would appreciate at least the difficulty of scaling an app from nothing to THE most popular app ever, in a matter of days. Yeah they had/still have issues that they could've mentioned in the article, but it doesn't take away from what they DID do.
- randomsofr 10y agoYeah, i never complained about the servers because of that, but the app was also really buggy from the beginning.
