The problem with App.Net seems to be an overheating CPU. No Google cache available, as far as I can see.

  The site owner needs to get a real host instead of an unreliable free host. (I and many others have had bad experiences with 000webhost.)

"You are seeing this page because website has reached CPU usage limit of the server, and it was temporarily disabled." One of the most annoying messages to be presented with on following a link. I wonder if there is a cache anywhere of this? I'm dying to know what the problem with App.Net is..

  That did not take long! :( The text is worth reading, I hope the site will be back online as soon as possible … Something like a default mirror of all links on the HN homepage would be useful in such situations.

    I agree. Something like what IHackerNews does with Viewtext.org - the text from the article is here: http://viewtext.org/article?url=http://www.trevormkay.com/thoughts2013.html#ADN http://viewtext.org/article?url=http://www.trevormkay.com/th...

imho I don't see anything wrong with a group of people trying to create something that people might enjoy. Even if it fails, aren't you glad someone at least took the initiative to try an idea?

Due to HN effect, the Server seems to be down. I am getting CPU limit reached error.

Sorry about the free hosting. Never expected to be on Hacker News :P I've moved to better hosting, for the moment the temp URL to the article is: http://cp27.stablehost.com/~trevormk/thoughts2013.html#ADN http://cp27.stablehost.com/~trevormk/thoughts2013.html#ADN

  Thanks; that was thoughtful. What about Wikipedia's sign-up process? I'd love to hear your thoughts.

The HN effect , make sure you can handle the load before submitting you news( if it is yours ofcourse ).

If you have some time, I'd recommend this podcast with Dalton Caldwell laying out his vision for App.net: http://www.muleradio.net/newdisruptors/13/ http://www.muleradio.net/newdisruptors/13/ For more, Zeldman has a similar discussion with Caldwell: http://5by5.tv/bigwebshow/84 http://5by5.tv/bigwebshow/84
