We see around 200K uniques per month. This month will be a bit higher due to HN traffic. We're running this on a Digital Ocean droplet and AWS for our media. It's a surprisingly simple set-up, really.
Just want to quickly add the Taiga will support Hummingbird fairly soon. Within the next week or so.
We also have incredible desktop apps like HAPU that detect what you're watching (including from sources like Hulu and Crunchyroll) and updates your library. No fingerprinting or hashes necessary.
Successful. We started Hummingbird because we were very dissatisfied with the state of things in this industry. If MAL improved as a direct result of our hard work, then we're positively effecting an experience for hundreds of thousands of users.
In the meantime we're going to keep innovating and working towards the platform we want to have. Now that we're open source, if we stumble or come up short, somebody else can carry on the torch.
