Got My First 100 Users in 25 Days 🚀

114 users | #2 Product of the Day on Product Hunt 🥈

I’m excited to share that I got 114 users for ViralSort in just 25 days!

It all started in early December when I noticed how time-consuming it was for creators to discover trending content. That’s when I built ViralSort, a Chrome extension that lets you sort Instagram Reels by likes, comments, and views. After publishing it on the Chrome Web Store on Dec 7, the journey began.

Here’s how we reached 114 users by Jan 1:

1️⃣ Small but Mighty Network.
I reached out to friends, mentors, and people I know. Their support played a key role in getting those first 9 users.

2️⃣ Organic Growth.
I published ViralSort on the Chrome Web Store on Dec 7, and its simplicity and usefulness brought in 30 users organically without any promotion.

3️⃣ Product Hunt Launch.
On Dec 30, I launched ViralSort on Product Hunt, and it gained 84 users in just 3 days, earning the #2 Product of the Day. Product Hunt provided the visibility to scale quickly.

It started as a simple idea to help find trending Reels, and now it's helping creators plan better content. This is just the beginning! 🚀
