How much of the web development and technical stuff did you do yourself and how much was done by experienced programmers that you brought in? I'm planning on launching a site but I'm a bit nervous because even though I have a decent amount of programming experience my web development skills are still in their infancy (especially since I'm a back end guy and know almost nothing about frontend development). Also, what sort of technical stack are you using? Thanks for the AMA!

Wordpress? Wow, I've worked with Wordpress a fair bit and never would've guessed. I'm actually using Ruby on Rails for my site as well (I'm a Java developer but Rails seems much better for launching quickly). I'm also curious about tue business perspective. Is the site profitable? How many users do you have and how long did it take to get? What advice do you have about acquiring users and publicity? Thanks for the subreddit, I'll definitely check it out.
