Really, that was my first thought. Before reading any article I usually want to know who is writing so I first look for a link. I hate when people link to the blog home. Ah... First World Problems
but we didn't do nearly as well as you. We made it up to #9 on the front page for a little while and hovered around the first page for about 6 hours with an average of about 40 concurrent visitors and a total of ~1,000 unique visitors
We got some great feedback from the HN community though. Getting up to #1 and staying there seems to be a whole other world.
Hey - congrats, that is awesome (really like your landing page!). We've found the power of the community to be astounding, offers for help / feedback has been invaluable.
