Maybe it's not cache that caused the problem. We host our website on Google Appengine which is global balanced. Maybe some cloudflare nodes just pick the wrong entrance.
Reporting back in that it's all working now. I managed to sign up, request an invite and I also sign up to your digests to try that out as well. Everything was very quick. Thank you.

I guessed they were planning to use the github integration for something. Then I might be wrong and it might just be "cool, new feature, must have" but whatever the reason was I didn't question anyones intellect over it.
Sorry about that. Could you drop us an email at hi@porter.io with your GitHub account? We could manually add you to the list.
We're trying to debug the problem. But it's hard to reproduce it since it only affects few people.
