What Hacker News says?

  1. congrats on launching this! some thoughts and questions: clickable: http://keybits.net/ * the main keybits-server repo doesn't link to keybits.net * instead of the "first-run.yml" technique, what do you think about a separate repo with build scripts for a common base server with an ssh-able non-root user? * how do you see tools like http://www.packer.io/ fitting into this type of workflow?
