OP: Hi guys, I'll do my best to reply to all comments posted here a bit later.
As it is now we're barely handling the flood of reviews. :) It's a good thing and very exciting but we had to scale up the number of heroku instances the second time in a row. So please bear with all the errors for a while, we're working on some issues esp. screenshot generation as it is not coping with the load.
Wow! We didn't expect an instant success like this. Thank you all for your contributions.
- evan_ 14y agoFYI- the signup email got stuck in my spam folder in gmail.
- bilus 14y agoYeah, it really sucks. Thanks for letting me know about this.
- astine 14y agoI love the idea behind this site and if I get some useful feedback on my website, I'll be ecstatic. Anyway, your site not really a success yet. You've just been Hacker Newsed. Traffic will probably go back down after today. It's happened to me before. Anyway, it looks like a major bottleneck you are experiencing is that you have to moderate every review that's written. I don't think that's going to be sustainable. I'd try having using rate reviews "helpful" or "not helpful" like they do for reviews on most online stores. And then maybe have an automatic filter for easily detectable things like foul language or gibberish. Good luck, I like you site.
- bilus 14y agoI absolutely agree, the traffic will definitely go down. I hope to retain some users but the idea was to get as much feedback as possible. Yes, moderating is a bottleneck. :) Thank you for the feedback! Greatly appreciated.
- hayksaakian 14y agoI didn't get an email confirming my account, on the sign up area after doing my first review, I tried both of my gmail addresses and have yet to see anything in either. Cool concept, add a meta aspect as others have said.
- bilus 14y agoIt's probably the spam issue. I'm working on a fix. Thanks for bringing that out and for the positive feedback.
- hayksaakian 14y agoYeah, I checked my spam and there you were.
- Alterlife 14y agoHey, a couple of suggestions: a. I can't find a way to sign up as a pure critic or a viewer - a user without a website. There will be plenty of people (the category also known as end-users) who don't have a website yet who would still like to look at and review designs by other folks. I wasn't able to sign up because my website is down for now. b. It'd be nice to have a way to 'save' credit and expend it later on reviews for sites that I may build later.
- bilus 14y agoThank you for the suggestions. (a) TBD soon. (b) This will follow.
