Wow, that's crazy cheap. What would a day on HN do I wonder?


I spent a Sunday at the top of Hacker News about a year ago and I don't recall ever paying more than $5 a month for my S3 hosting.

For context, last month I had ~20,000 pageviews and my S3 + Data Transfer charges were $2.43.


Maybe a few dollars? This is crazy cheap... there's a reason Github can offer Pages for free.

This is cool. I didn't know about Xamarin until now. I use Rdio a lot, and it's generally a very good, smooth-running app on my Nexus 4. Didn't realize it was built cross-platform like this!


Direct Traffic is either just what it says, or traffic from 'https://' (SSL) sites. Your site is just http:// (no SSL) and thus can't get the referral information.
