Unfortunately, I have had some problems with Bloc's website every time I've tried to use it. This example took 3 minutes to load the initial page. Earlier today I was running through some Ruby code tutorials, and it got hung up on evaluating the code. Their site runs pretty quick, until it doesn't.

I don't know if it's just under heavy load every time I try to use it (admittedly only when it's on the front page of Hacker News, but it's seemingly always on the front page) or if I'm doing something wrong. Love the site, hate the performance.



sorry about that :(

it's definitely because of hacker news, I just increased our Heroku dynos by a lot though so it should be quicker


Hey thanks for a response. I've been meaning to visit some time when it's not on the front page, so I can give your poor servers a break while I learn. Troubles of being a popular web app, I guess :)
