I believe someone is tampering with the position of links submitted. I say so because last week or so, I submitted our startup to HN which was on the first page for most of the day and receiving some positive comments/feedback. At some point in the day, we were no where to be found (unless I utilized the search functionality), only to appear again on the first page after a while. Later on in the evening, it dissapeared again.

Everything is proprietary!! that is our big advantage.

Data store code name "Saycron" sits on the Demanjo's Distributed file system.

Indexing -- > uses a data structure i call "Octo-tree" Outperforms any multidimensional index i came across in any academic papers.

Web server -- > Code name "SlimAPE". simple non blocking.

Web framework -- > Code name "HerikX".

I will write about all of these technologies later on my blog whenever i get to setting up one.

Changing sites is not a problem as the algorithms are generic to target any website!! We do not develop algorithms for each provider out there, that will not be feasible and quiet frankly a waste of time on our part.

For geolocation searches, we auto detect a users location. I cannot guarantee the accuracy of a users location as the geo data source is a free version. You can however easily select the miles to increase the radius of your search.
