Comment on Ask HN: Review my "Teach Myself Programming" project, Getset (Please be gentle)

Comments

First off, congratulations, this seems like a cool tool, and the landing page is nice and clean.

Second, I'm seeing some problems with the site right now. It was quick to load, but then it seems like it takes forever to do the search (Charlotte, NC to SLC, UT) then just ends in an error. It's done this the few times I've tried.

Also, if searching does take a while (I imagine it would) a nice 'loading' page might be a useful addition to tell users what it's doing (did it actually start searching? should I click the button again?).

Thanks for the feedback, a loading page would be useful. What specific error are you receiving? Or is it different errors everytime? I'll have to scour my log file to see what's actually going on. Thanks again!

It waits a while, then goes to a page that says:

We're sorry, but something went wrong.

We've been notified about this issue and we'll take a look at it shortly.

As a quick look at the page source, it looks like a 500 server error. Is the site working for you? I've tried a few other searches and they don't work. I'm on Windows 7 with Google Chrome, in case you're curious.
