I think you need a 5th takeaway: write a follow-up blog post about how your HN post got you 1000 users, subsequently getting you another 1000 users that missed the post the day before.
how about a 6th takeaway in a follow up, in which he discusses retention of these initial 1000 users? I think it's great he was able to obtain those numbers early but I think those users are a bit ephemeral.
yea that would be a good post... ill see what i can do!
yea it have :)
Yup, however his blog post actually had some valuable insights instead of just hollow words.
hah! the post was meant to be mutually beneficial
Personally I was expecting a discussion on the viral nature of asking people near you to join up to popcorn in the app.
that was my original intent. and then I totally forgot to add it until I had already posted.
