Every time I share a project I provide two links, one for my vps and another one for GitHub pages. Usually my projects run on the client, so I have never experienced the hug of death myself.

Before this Digg, before that Slashdot.

Before we were all on USENET, some lucky ones were on Compuserve and AOL, and BBSs were limited by phone lines, not really anything to test loads.

Kuro5hin was pretty big, back in the day. But /. was the biggie, along with need to know. We get the term slashdotted from there, after all.

Oh man, the most helpful article I’ve ever read about depression and burnout was on Kuro5hin. Luckily it’s been preserved on Wikibooks:

Still holds up well two decades later.

There was a time where Reddit was good for discovery as well
