This is a little back favor to the community of HN which helped a lot with feedback yesterday. Thank you all for helping, this post describes our experience with testing the Popify site.

What about returning users ? Do you see any traffic today ? This should be a little viral too if ppl start puttin oupons on their webpages ?

What technology do you use ?

We use PHP/HipHop/Redis and nothing else. The server can do 1500req/sec.

The traffic today is about 30 users per hour without additional exposure. We'll do a proper PR campaign in a few days but have some user requests to implement right now.

It is also a story how these things should not be done. We locked ourselves out of HN with noprocrast when needed to answer the comments here.
