Level Up Your 404, 500, and Maintenance Pages
- jrochkind1 11y agoThe phrase "level up" makes me nauseous.

- brandonmenc 11y agoLook, we're gamifying work so that you won't notice being there 80 hours a week.
- captn3m0 11y agoYou need to fix the HN link after the wizard ends.
- dapatil 11y agoPretty cool way to capture leads. I hope you guys post the results of this experiment on growthhackers
- stevenklein 11y agoThat's actually a really good idea I hadn't thought of that. Thanks!
- zedadex 11y agoIncidentally, what do you think about dynamic favicons [1]? They're a fairly simple feature to implement, but a useful one. In your case, they'd let otherwise-useless favicons be status indicators themselves (which makes sense for anyone opening/refreshing a tab anyway) if they so chose. Plus, it'd let your users promote their branding (upvote/downvote icons in that specific case) which is a win-win. At minimum, some custom title text ('[user's main offering] is up'/'down' etc) would make a lot of sense, but I really think the favicons are simple enough (both to implement and to understand) and visible enough to be worth it too - it'd allow for at-a-glance uptime information [2].

- Achshar 11y agoWhy not whip my own 5 line css3 error page? Unless I want to make a dino jumping over cactus game, I don't need a complex error page.
- amelius 11y agoI'm looking for a technique to redirect traffic from port 80 to a maintenance page (on a different port) as soon and as long as port 80 is not bound, on Linux.
- mrsteveman1 11y agoWhy the hard requirement to monitor port binding? Isn't HAProxy sufficient to do what you need? It can do maintenance page redirection if none of its backends are available.
- amelius 11y agoThanks! This could be a solution. But to be honest, I was actually hoping that the automatic redirection could be done with something as simple as an entry in iptables.
