> HN is also running really pretty slow today.
Just my luck. As soon as HN took a little while to load for me, I knew that someone would mention it in this thread.
I made hn-api understanding that scraping HN is frowned upon, but also hoping that programmers wouldn't do dumb things with it. As I [said][1], I minimised the number of requests hn-api makes to HN.
In the readme, I say that hn-api is unofficial and unauthorised. I also tell people to be gentle with making requests to HN. Is there some other action I should take? Ideally I'd like to keep my work up, but if pg tells me to take it down, I will.
Great, now I feel all dirty like The Pirate Bay.
