The site then went down due HN's traffic load. (I guess a vape-hosted website isn't "web scale").
The author shared the blog post, but we didn't see it. It was only much later (7 hours ago), that dmazin submitted the blog post as this submission. (No criticism, they were just being helpful and posting the blog post so the community could see it).
Out of fairness to the original submitter and author, we've created a new copy of their submission, set the blog post as the URL and moved the comments there. That way it gets its full chance at front page exposure, and the project creator gets the credit and karma, which they are entitled to, having submitted it first.

I'm suddenly randomly curious about the backend (or frontend?) tools y'all folks use to do this sorta thing here on HN (and to manage the site in general). Is it web-based like the site itself, or CLI? GUI even? I presume the whole thing is mostly database-driven "under the hood" like a lotta these kinda sites, yeah?
As an ex-web designer, it's always fascinated me; the many different approaches people have come up with to managing various web properties, despite the core similarities underlying them all.
