Many of you probably noticed that we were down for a chunk of today. We could pretend that it didn't happen but... actually we'd love to do that but it was just too obvious :) We optimistically thought that through all of our preparation, scaling would be a breeze. We found out today that that wasn't quite true. We surpassed 2,000 users in 3 days and are handling quite a load. A few of our key queries weren't properly optimized and were taking way too long.

We're moving to beefier hardware, have optimized the queries and are chasing down some more loose ends. Especially with our unique toolbar-to-server relationship, fully testing how well we'd scale was nearly impossible without just going ahead and doing it.

For those of you who stuck with us, thank you for your patience. For those who went away, please come back! We love you, and promise it'll never happen again :)!

We've been getting a ton of great feedback and love it. If you haven't been sending us feature requests yet, now's the time because we're making iterations as fast as we can. A major one we're working on right now is to allow you to view your habits for more than the past 24 hours. We haven't ditched the data, we just have to make some updates to the graphing tools so that you can see it. That should be out within a day or two.

8aweek is still in the very beginning stages of something that we think is going to be really great and effect a lot of people. Thanks for being a part!
