Improving Soup performance, and a general note on our status and the future

As you may have read on kitchen.soup.io or Twitter, we recently upgraded our hardware. This had a dramatically positive effect on page loading times, which had been gradually creeping up over the previous weeks due to Soup's continued growth. We also fixed a longstanding, annoying issue in which the content of posts temporarily seemed to disappear.

Unfortunately, since then a new problem has popped up, which is intermittently slowing Soup down yet again and even lead to several hours of downtime yesterday.
We're doing what we can to get to the bottom of this. Since signs point to the cause being in the notification system, we need to experimentally disable notifications for the next day or so as part of our debugging efforts. Sorry about that!

I know how much it sucks when Soup is slow or unreachable, when support requests remain unanswered and obvious feature improvements aren't implemented.
Unfortunately, our resources are very limited right now. @lfittl decided to leave the company earlier this year, and despite everyone's intentions of a smooth and swift transition to another full-time technical team member, it has been plagued by delays.

That you all are willing to tolerate these circumstances and continue to be active in the community and entrust us with your data is humbling and motivating, and just strengthens my unwavering commitment to the site and its future. Here's what's currently being done:

– I'm expecting to be able to introduce you to some new team members shortly.
– Plans are being made to future-proof the database architecture of Soup. This is just the start of a process that will take months, but will ultimately give us lots of breathing room from scaling issues.
– I'm busy working on the general future direction of Soup. I'm seriously excited about the way the plans, mockups and prototypes are developing and can't wait to share them and get some feedback from all of you. Right now, the only aspect I can give away is an increased focus on mobile devices, but that's just one part of it. Stay tuned!
– We're actively talking to investors to put these plans on a more stable financial foundation, while still keeping a plan B in mind for when that doesn't work out.

To stay in the loop on the progress of these plans, consider adding kitchen as a friend, if you haven't already. Thanks so much for your continued support!

– Christopher, Founder

Thanks, I Guess?

Careful, Hannelore, it's a slippery slope to full-on mad scientism.

Fabbing: Ich drucke mir meine Welt


Der Makerbot ist die kleinste und billigste Fabrik der Welt. Mit einem Baukasten, der nur wenige hundert Dollar kostet, kann sich jeder diesen so genannten Digital Fabricator basteln und ohne große Vorkenntnisse beliebige Objekte herstellen. Plötzlich unterliegen reale Gegenstände den selben Gesetzen wie digitale Güter: Droht den Herstellern von Gebrauchsgegenständen und Ersatzteilen das gleiche Schicksal wie der Musikindustrie? Schon bald könnten massentaugliche 3D-Drucker analog zum Papierdrucker neben jedem Schreibtisch stehen. Die Do-it-youself-Fabriken sind angeschlossen an Online-Communities wie dem Thingiverse, in denen Baupläne getauscht, diskutiert und verbreitet werden.


Mitwirkende: Bre Pettis, Philipp Tiefenbacher, Andreas Neef, Ronen Kadushin, Janne Kyttänen; Autoren: Tobias Moorstedt, Mario Sixtus; Kamera: Julius Endert, Andreas Proß; Schnitt: Dominic Kennedy, Arne Bönninghoff; Sprecher: Petra Bröcker, Torsten Altenhöner; Zeichnungen: Johannes “Beetlebum” Kretzschmar; Bildredaktion: Theresa Schwär; Studio-Konstruktion: Axel Ganz; Titelmusik: Mario Sixtus; Musik: Lego, Tradmark, Serphonic, Miguel Herrero, Ehma; Bildmaterial: Internet Archive, Prelinger Archive; Redaktion ZDF: Bernhard Fritsch, Peter Wagner; Produktion: Blinkenlichten Produktionen im Auftrag des ZDF in Zusammenarbeit mit Handelsblatt.com; (c) 2010 ZDF, (cc) by-nc-sa
