Rate my WebApp: FAQoverflow (www.faqoverflow.com)

1 points by kranzky 15y ago ↗ HN

FAQoverflow is the coffee table book version of the Stack Overflow family of Q&A websites.

I wrote a Ruby Script that spiders the API to find the top 1000 questions on each of the 25+ sites, and which selects the best questions according to a quality heuristic before bucketing them into sections. The whole thing is published as a static site to S3/CloudFront and updated a couple of times a week. More technical details regarding implementation on the site itself.

The idea is to provide a nice, clean interface for browsing great answers to questions about everything.

This site crashes safari on iPad.

Ack, that'll be TypeKit. I'll disable nice looking fonts on iDevices to fix this.

OK, Typekit webfonts have now been disabled for iPad only. The site should work without crashing now. Funnily, the iPhone works just fine.
