The biggest issues I ran into (when creating a pinboard of graphic Tee designs I like) were likely due to poorly-handled replication. I'd create a pin, and it would redirect me to a page that would immediately 404. If I refreshed, it would sometimes render the thing I posted, and sometimes 404. Furthermore, any changes I made to pins would come and go, and I'd have to resubmit the form several times before it would persist. This wasn't fixed over the course of the several weeks during which I added pins.

It's a real tribute to the wonderfully crisp design that I actually stuck around to deal with all of that crap. Honestly, if it weren't for the design, I would have rolled my own shitty clone using some Rails bootstraps and the paperclip gem. (I just wanted to show my friends some graphic tee designs!)



I think most issues come from some kind of server-side caching. I guess they fell for one of the NoSQL buzzwords and they really didn't get it.
