Hacker News Reader

Author here, as I mentioned in my post it was nothing but pure luck and building something that the community wanted but never had. I wish I had answers for you. Been an active hacker news reader for a long time and the last thing I would do is to spam a community where I get valuable tech news.

Not sure why this was flagged but I am happy to provide video evidence and even show it live on a call if that makes you feel at ease

View on HN

It's clickbait because your title is about growing your app to 50k users and then you say nothing about how that happened.

There is a reason it grew quickly. You could have provided value by diving into the ways (word of mouth, articles being written about you, etc).

Or if you had just done a normal show HN and described your product, it wouldn't have come across as spam.

Fair and thanks for the valuable feedback! I will make sure to post again following the guideline that you outlined
