I am one random comment, in a LONG list. And all night, we have been seeing a new user every 15-30 seconds. WOW.
I also saw a bug prevented some of your reports to complete, which is perfect on a HackerNews day, haha #not. It's fixed, everything will proceed automatically.
As a thank you (to the community for finding that bug) and being so MANY, I've decided to create a promo code that upgrades all of your accounts to premium. I'll leave it running until tomorrow or so.
It's 'hackernews'. Wow, amazing community right here.
Not really, the past few days, I've tried a few things. Wanted to see whether any ads (Google or Facebook) would allow me to calculate a solid sign-up / purchase ratio. But neither helped promoting the site at a sustainable/affordable rate, I stopped both since more people arrived at the site through pure searching on Google, friends of friends or reading about it on Twitter or a blog.
Also, I used Bootstrap as the foundation, it just helps a lot with getting things off the ground for weekend projects.
This was a weekend project and it performs already way better (a few weeks in) than my 1.5 year startup (which is something completely different).
That's some scary shit right there. Purely fascinating.
