Be patient- this app is probably sleeping (it's not slow). It's hosted on Heroku's free dyno plan and falls asleep after an hour of inactivity.

The max age of a user session is set to 30 minutes- that should be ample time to get a feel for this blog's features & reactivity.

The Akka ActorSystem periodically purges user comments on the off chance this project is discovered and gets inundated with activity. Please keep it clean. For the children.

-
Improve management of multiple comment notifications.
-
Consider immediately injecting comments into the DOM.
-
Improve logging, error handling, and testing.
