-What did the companies that posted on your site have to say about the quality and quantity of candidates?
None of them have contacted me.
-Do they feel it was $50 well spent?
I don't know.
-Did people apply through your site and find jobs so far? Do you have a way of tracking the stats?
A few people wrote in to thank me and tell me they applied jobs. I haven't asked around, and there's no tracking in place.
-What is your future direction of this site? What features do you plan to add?
I want to keep focusing on the UX. Speed and ease of use are the features I care about most. I want the UI to be so good that people feel comfortable looking for a tech job no matter how old they are with the site catering to older geeks as a bonus.
-Oh, and how did the $10 Digital Ocean VPS hold up with the sudden spikes of traffic?
No issues at all. I use Flask-Cache backed by redis, which I'm sure helps a lot.
