It appears the site couldn't handle HN traffic or maybe the site owner took it down. Regardless, a project like this needs a lot of thought put into it to be something that people can rely on during times of crisis.

If it can't handle a surge in traffic from HN, it won't be able to handle a surge during natural disasters.

Works for me 10 minutes after your post. I'm happy to be part of the unintended load test.

It's working for me after 16 minutes of your comment & someone else mentions how it works after 10 minutes of your comment.

The site is light enough to handle traffic spikes from HN. The site was being patched based on feedback here. You should see it up and running.

Something working after a spike doesn't tell you much anything about how it did during the spike. At best, it's a hint that maybe the server did not physically burn to the ground, but even that is not for certain.
