Considering the captcha it actually takes 3 clicks to launch

  > Considering the captcha it actually takes 3 clicks to launch More like ten. Six for the captcha choices, one to submit the captcha, one to pick the server type, one to submit and get a "Server capacity reached, please try again later", and finally one to close the browser tab.

    I'm not going to rent a $500 server just to handle the HN traffic spike, sorry. Capacity will be expanded over time, but only after the service pays for itself (either through ads or paid features).

      No worries. I'm looking forward to trying it out again after things quiet down a bit. Fyi, it doesn't have to be a $500/mo server permanently either. Depending on where your hosting the backend, you could scale it up temporarily and then scale it back down when things quiet down. $500/mo is approx $16/day which could be well worth it for a day while enjoying an HN-driven bump.

  Not if you use the preselected Ubuntu. ;)
