Comment on Tell HN: My open-source project hit 5k registered users

Comments

Congratulations! 5k users is a real milestone — especially for open source where you rarely hear from most of your users. The ones who take time to register are your most valuable early adopters. Would be curious what your biggest growth channel was — was it a single post that took off or slow organic growth over time?

I don't really do anything tbh, I made a few posts on Reddit, and mostly on HN. Totally organic, no upvote farming/bots, kept it 100% honest for my peace of mind.
