Once again, thank you all for the ride. It's amazing. No idea if we're in for the long haul, or if it's just going to fizzle out on its own a little bit later. But either way, it's so, so worth it.

I love you all, you're amazing.

Keep it up.

So I need to be careful about what I add. I will add a polling system to ask you about the new features and changes I think might be controversial or delicate. I want to continue to empower you by giving you more voice into Voresky.

It started as my brainchild, but now, let's all build it together.
February 10, 2026 at 12:45 PM
Now, moving forward, I want to slow down a little bit. Not because I'm running out of energy, quite the opposite. But because I don't want to break your trust. All of you placed a gigantic amount of trust in nobody little me, and I need to do everything in my power to preserve it.

I've seen what Voresky has done to all y'all too. People starting to interact. To get creative. To talk to each other. Building bridges. It's just... It's incredible.

I am so happy to see my friends also running high on endorphins as a result. I've enabled that. It's... I don't know what to say...
February 10, 2026 at 12:45 PM
First of all, this is beyond humbling. There is no words to describe what I feel. I've been running non-stop on various endorphins for a few days now.

I am trying to read about the reception, and it's so overwhelmingly positive, it's just... I don't know what to say.

So much better than therapy.

See, I was building the path system, going "Ha ha ha ha ha, this is so overengineered, nobody will actually use it! It's just a joke, right? ...right???"

I built something that I wanted to use for myself. It turns out I didn't realize we were all sharing the same braincell.

We're a community now.
February 10, 2026 at 12:45 PM
And then their friends told their friends, and their friends, and their friends...

And soon it totally breached containment. I'm writing this, the stats tell me we're at 2.2k users, with no signs of slowing down just yet.

What? Did I... just... build a community overnight? Did little me do that???
February 10, 2026 at 12:45 PM
So I got a little bit more serious, bought the domain name, and I kept going. My friends told their friends. Who told theirs.

I thought to myself "oh my goodness, it looks like I might get all the way to a hundred users at this rate!"

So I got even more serious, and moved it to the GKE free trial.
February 10, 2026 at 12:45 PM
Right! Sorry, I should have been explaining this one too. To reduce some of my own server load, I'm pulling the label data from bluesky.
February 10, 2026 at 7:21 AM
I've been busy pulling various tricks to make the site be snappier. Not fully there yet. But the overlay glitch is definitely annoying. There's one bug I fixed before that was doing that already, there's probably a second one. React data merging is hard.

But right now, I need to sleep...
February 10, 2026 at 7:19 AM
Right, so, there's definitely a glitch right now, most likely due to the load.

I'll be honest, I wasn't expecting... that

You need to have subscribed to the labeler on this account for them to appear. Even though, they seem to flicker quite a bit, but I've been more busy trying to get the site running faster at the moment.

Let me read the thread back.
February 10, 2026 at 7:13 AM
Oh I see what's going on, yeah. Some of this logic needs cleaning.
February 10, 2026 at 3:58 AM
I think so, yes. Maybe some mechanics like "wiggle to go faster". We'll see :3
February 10, 2026 at 3:45 AM
I'm adding a warning about that :3

Housing is a bit of a placeholder for now. They sort of function like a public bookmark. Some of the planned features I have is to let preds be "house crashers", and tentatively bulk-grab everyone in it.
February 10, 2026 at 12:16 AM
For what I do, yes, it's slightly cheaper. But costs are virtually the same here.

With 2 replicas, I was projected to between $50 and $85 a month of compute. With 8 that might set me back to $120 to $160. We'll see.

The stats page has a direct pull of my billing page, which is still empty for now.

Kubernetes replicas, basically. Yes, this runs on GKE Autopilot.
February 9, 2026 at 10:35 PM
So, when I started it, voresky was running on 2 servers (or replicas), and it was fine up until... eeeeh, around when we reached 1500 concurrent users.

I've bumped it to 8 servers now.
February 9, 2026 at 10:32 PM
I think I finally found the right one! Let me try pushing it...

You can hit me up on Discord too! I don't have a good channel or anything yet, but suggestions are absolutely welcome.
