Calmcode: Questions on Growth

Hi all.

In my spare time, I'm maintaining this blog/educational website over at https://calmcode.io. My goal is not to monetize it. It's more a hobby project that, I hope, is a small remedy for those who need to learn new skills.

I've been at it for a year and it's been growing naturally ever since I started. I've only tweeted about it a few times and there's a mailing list that folks can sign up for. But this is about all the marketing that I've done. It got picked up a lot of folks on twitter, then reddit, then hackernews ... all of which was very fulfilling to see. I didn't post to either, so people seem to like it well enough to share.

I'm pretty happy with how everything is going. It seems that my educational content is enjoyed by a lot of folks and this makes it fun for me to maintain. But I am wondering about something ...

I am wondering whether or not my growth numbers are "good". So I figured asking here. You can see all of my stats publicly here; https://plausible.io/calmcode.io?period=12mo.

I'm not interested in running lots of ads but since the site is getting "the love" I'm wondering if maybe I could/should do more with it so that more people can find it/make use of it.

I prefer to keep this as a hobby project, but I've never really done marketing before so there may be some pointers that I'm missing. I'm curious about what this community thinks of this project.
