- I upgraded the server from 256MB to a 2GB slice and it's been handling okay. I also used this as an opportunity to deploy the fancy Django version of the site, at which point it began using a much bigger chunk of the 2GB. I'm gonna try screwing with the settings, caching more, and switching from mod_python to mod_wsgi.
- The iPhone app has risen to the #9th most popular paid productivity app on the US App Store.
- The Mac app buzzed ahead of some competitors on Wakoopa (like Alexa for desktop apps):
Definitely switch from mod_python to mod_wsgi. Also try setting up Nginx as a proxy to Apache, using Nginx to serve static media and Apache(+mod_wsgi) for only serving up the dynamic pages.
That's some amazing traffic. I take it that the rise in iPhone sales makes it worth giving away the app for free[1]? How many people got a free license for the desktop app through MacHeist?
I also want to chime in with the fact that ShoveBox is one of my favorite apps and was installed the day I bought a Mac for the first time. I press Control+Option+Z to open Quick Jot probably 10 times a day. Thanks!
[1] I have no clue how MacHeist gets these apps, so excuse my ignorance if there is some compensation.
