Minimal Reader

It's a sad day, but Minimal Reader has officially shut down. Thanks for all of the support y'all. Appreciate it!

Sadly, after 4.5 years of operation, Minimal Reader is shutting down: minimalreader.com/shutdown

Looks like we had a little blip in the servers overnight. Everything is coming back online now.

Fetching is catching up. Looks like things are working well. Time for sleep and then figuring out a robust way to handle disk failure!

Site is back up. Feed fetching will start to slowly back-fill now. Thanks for your patience!

Database is restored. No data lost. Slowing bringing up services, fetching, and ultimately the site. Stay tuned!

Restoration about 90% complete. Sorry for the delay while we get back online!

Restoration 75% complete.

Restoration 50% complete.

Database restoration progressing slowly. 25% complete.

Terrabytes of data being restored. Looks like this might take a while. Hang in there folks!

We lost our primary and replica databases due to hard disk failure. Our database admin is restoring the database now.

We're currently undergoing unscheduled database maintenance. Will keep y'all updated.

Tweaking some additional database settings to speed things up a bit.

Alrighty! New database coming online. Feed fetching is being restored. Thanks for your patience all!

Migrating our database to a new host. Should help with stability and speed.

Working through some stability improvements now. I'll keep you updated as we progress!

Undergoing some database maintenance tonight to address some of the issues we've been having! Stay tuned!

And we're back! Time travel FTW :)

Looks like it's going to be a long night. The host is saying this migration could take a few hours. Sorry all! I'll keep you updated!
