This was so cool to read! I had a similar experience with my product[1] hitting the front page last week.
The high level stats for mine were that it sent 18k visitors to my site and generated $1815 the first day it was up.
The following day had 5.8k visitors and generated $1100 of sales.
The coolest part was getting connected with interesting people from cool companies. Got connected with a YC founder, a few folks at big engineering companies, and some fellow indie hackers.
It’s kind of nerve wracking posting a Show HN, but the benefits were great for me. Most of the comments were positive. Got some super valuable feedback as well that will help improve the product.
