@minti It's spread across three cloud servers instances hosted at Rackspace.
-
@minti Web server runs Ruby on Rails, Push Communication Service runs Node.js & Databse is MongoDB
-
@minti Internal communication between servers in the cluster happens through a RabbitMQ Queue.
-
That really got me down tbh, I spent like 200 hours building an application that has a chat framework more stable than enterprise products like Skype to get washed away in a roundup after contacting them 5 times from different emails.
-
@widget lol, good luck. I had rebuilt my legacy code-base, released a public API, revised the front end to support all device sizes. And I had to email them 5 times to get them to put it somewhere in a roundup. With the argument that they can't post a site twice.
-
Bots can't crawl Cloudsdale as it's 100% driven through Javascript >:D
-
@ceruleanspark Yeah, when our band gets features on EqD we usually receive around 2000-3000~ of our views with EqD as their referral origin.
-
@minti Knighty is a really cool dude. I talk to him a lot about web stuff. He has a sense for integrity and style. He builds with intent.
-
@minti Yeah you really need some carrot. My biggest carrot was the EqD feature of the site which generated 3500 registration over 24 hours. And considering it is my first ever published site it was a big deal to me :p
-
@minti We are proper nerds though, all of us code for a living, except for one who's still in collage.
-
@minti Well, our team consists of 5 people. Me and another web developer, 1 iOS dev, 1 Android dev & 1 WP7 dev :D
-
Native apps on all major platforms, how it should be :3

This is why I've fallen in love with link pre-processing https://dl.dropbox.com/u/500876/Screen%20Shot%202012-09-20%20at%2010.36.35%20AM.png

@widget I feel your pain.
-
iOS app is on 1.0.0-RC1 so it's feature complete and on it's way through App Store confirmation for the first time.

Cloudsdale is just above 10k, but things are going to spike again as soon as the iOS, Android and WP 7 apps are out.
-
@minti And PonySquare call themselves the biggest Brony social network with the largest userbase. :p
-
How many users are on here now? Registered total?
-
@widget I like the approach of the target site deciding if it makes sense by providing enough information to be displayed. Like OGP or OEmbed reference tags.
-
@widget I wanted to see if it was fetching preview images and what not. Seems like this plugin is oblivious to OGP
-
There is this huge thing I lack on this website... Sockets or HTTP-Streaming.
-
@widget Cross Site Request Forgery
-
@ceruleanspark You got the right idea about security. Worry about the rapture in the gas tank before the crack in the windshield.
-
@widget It's slower, also, doesn't SHA1 just hexdigest your string based on itself rather than accepting a salt?
-
@widget Oh yes, for passwords I use the one-way encoder.
-
@widget Fairly old, It's been used for security on file systems before. But now it's salt-pepper en/de-coder has found use cases in web applications as a nice compliment to the general security stack.
-
@widget Perfect for password de/en-cryption
-
@widget A very secure encryption engine written in C, deliberately slowing down certain aspects of processing of de-coding to protect against brute-force attacks.
