Do you mind if I ask couple of technical questions?
- How did you cope with the traffic from HN?
- The image resize service you implemented (photo.pixomize.com) is so simple and clean I want to know how did you implemented it? is it implemented from scratch?
What I like about photo.pixomize.com is the simplicity in the URL and how you can simply create thumbnail and download it and it's pretty fast.
There are lot's of image resize services out there which do the exact same thing as a SaaS.
More than happy to answer. I am planning to write a blog post about technical parts soon.
The traffic was not that big for this kind of sites. Yesterday there seemed to be around 2.5K visitors from HN and each having average 2.1 page views per session.
The resizing service is implemented from scratch. It's very simple (resize and cache) and does not have the possibility to define point of interest (yet - I would like to do some experiences with that too).
