Comment on Launch HN: BitsyBox now available to the public

Comments

Took me a while to figure out what you were selling. You should make that more clear on the homepage.

I also wondered about this paragraph on your features page:

As an added bonus, when you use BitysBox for static image hosting, you get a built-in Content Delivery Network (CDN). We use Amazon's hugely popular S3 storage engine, which means that images are delivered by servers around the world. This makes your websites render even faster, with no setup required.

1) S3 isn't really a CDN, so this isn't really true

2) Product name is misspelled in the first sentence

That's true, you need CloudFront in order to CDN-enable your S3 buckets. It's not too much more difficult to set up, though, just need to flip a switch on the bucket.

Good point. We are, in fact, using Cloud Front. I've updated the paragraph to be more technically accurate (and fixed the typo). Thanks.
