What a wonderful way to make lemonade! Thank you for doing this. I hope the site can withstand the onslaught of visitors as I'm sure they'll get more than their fair share at the moment.



Your reference to making lemonade from lemons seems to imply that the people who made it were furloughed. This doesn't appear to be the case. It seems to have been built by people working for a private company: http://www.blencorp.com/


Looks like it couldn't.


The site is back up. Check it out at http://unfurlough.us

Also did some write up on the background if you're interested: http://www.blencorp.com/blog/2013/10/unfurlough-us-freelance...


The traffic was amazing. It killed the server. Moving it to a more bulkier aws instance. Will post back when it's up.
