Thanks! I actually don't know the technical details myself scratches head except that we're using WordPress (please don't judge ;) - it is very handy when some members, like me, who are less tech-savvy are contributing and it everything has to happen very fast) to edit and publish content. I asked a team member who's worked more on putting together the technical components to come in here - he'll come by a bit later today. I had had some trouble submitting the thread here at HN yesterday so when I finally managed to do so it was quite late. In retrospect, it probably would've been better to wait until morning, sorry you had to wait for a reply.

And about the sleep part, hehe well I did sleep some but it was hard to quit for the day and especially to stop all homenaut ideas from bouncing around in my head when laying in bed :P

Sorry for the long wait again uxcolumbo. This is the description I got from one of the crew members who worked with more of the technical side of things: "Because we needed speed we hosted a wordpress site with a directory plugin that we hacked into and had the functionality that we needed". Maybe it doesn't clear everything up but hope it helps :)

Small addendum: What was used was just digitalocean+wordpress, with some custom code for the posting / upvoting system (but of course gregsadetsky - see comment above - had already figured out that it was digitalocean)

(also to all posters in the thread, thanks again for all the great feedback! I'd expected people to be harsh here, but I feel very welcomed to HN)
