🎉 12 users! My Chrome extension has actual humans using it

Small milestone, but the first one that feels real: LomuTab just crossed 12 users.

Not a huge number, I know — but 12 people opened the Chrome Web Store, read the listing, and decided to install a new-tab replacement over all the alternatives already out there. That's 12 people who now see my widgets every time they open a browser tab. Feels different than "0 users, but the code works on my machine."

What LomuTab actually is: a modular dashboard that replaces your Chrome new tab — clock, notes, calendar, bookmarks, tab manager, weather, color tools, and a few more. You pick which ones you want on your grid, no account required. There's also a "share anything with a link" angle (notes, docs, screenshots, bookmarks, layouts) — create something in the extension, send a link, and whoever opens it doesn't need to install anything either.

What I've learned in the last stretch, building in the open:

• I spent way more time than expected making sure the marketing copy actually matches what the product does. Turns out it's easy to accidentally promise something in a landing page hero that the rest of the page contradicts three scrolls down — and users notice.

• "No account required" keeps coming up as the thing people actually care about, more than I expected going in.

• Small, unglamorous fixes (a widget-placement bug, a few copy inconsistencies) probably matter more to those first 12 people than any new feature would.

Nothing dramatic here — just wanted to mark the moment before I forget it happened. On to the next 12.

Question for the room: for those of you past this stage — what actually moved you from single digits to your next real milestone? Was it one channel that worked, or just compounding word of mouth?
