Ask HN: Dang, are you seeing a spike in traffic?

12 points by santiagobasulto 3y ago ↗ HN

With the whole reddit meltdown, I (personally, myself) have browsed HN several times today, I usually just do it at the beginning of the day.

Bottom line is that my productivity hasn't improved :) I just redirected my "leisure" internet time somewhere else.

I am seeing many more of the "sorry, we can't service your request right now" messages since the Great Blackout 2023™.

Just happened to me as well when I tried to answer another comment :/

For those watching from home, if you're only reading, you can logout (or use a private window or another browser) - the logged out pages are cached and don't show those errors (usually).

An occasional State Of The States address by dang could be awesome.

Yes, or even a public traffic dashboard right?

Maybe a HN down detector that actually works.

I actually saw the contrary within my clients analytics yesterday lol..

Traffic and usage dropped dramatically at around 1pm est, compared to the previous period.

The analytics within this particular app are very consistent; and data anomalies are usually caused by global news events.
