This is at least the 4th article on Ravelry's scaling accomplishments here on HN.



Yeah. I made this post and it was really just a "throw away" piece for any of my subscribers who hadn't already heard about it - I'm as surprised as Obama is at winning the Nobel ;-)

I guess that even when a story blows up in the techie world, there are enough people who didn't hear about it that it can be repeated several times and still do well.


I'm the OP of this one, sorry. And I saw Casey above groaned a little bit at it surfacing again. :)

But seriously, even with all the repostings, there are a lot of us who somehow hadn't already seen it. Even though the headline, and the story, emphasize the scaling challenges and solutions, the larger story is how you can bootstrap something really successful with minimal resources.

Peter, thanks for running a great blog.


Apparently it takes 4 times for me to see anything, then ;)
