Received A Shoutout From Indie Hackers! 🤩
The craziest thing happened yesterday!
I was jumping between a couple of back-to-back meetings and working on the code for One Word Domains when I received a notification on my phone that Indie Hackers had just tweeted about my site.
I opened the little blue bird app on my phone, and lo and behold...
I couldn't believe my eyes. The platform that I've been using for the longest time ever since starting my journey as an indie hacker has tweeted about my product!! 🤩
Traffic to my site skyrocketed instantly.
Instead of the usual 5-10 active users, I had close to 50 active users every second:
It went on like this for another hour or so before dying down, but I was able to get a few dozen newsletter sign-ups in the process, which was awesome!
Indie Hackers ended up following me on the same day as well so that was another pleasant surprise 😇
Once again, I'd like to thank Indiehackers for the opportunity, and to the rest of the Indiehackers community – thank you for always being such a supportive and encouraging group of online friends!
Who would do such a nice thing?
Only the wonderful Indiehackers team would! Thank you Rosie! 😊🥰
Are you the one in charge of Indiehackers' Twitter account by any chance? 👀
It's me and @Leo now.
@steventey We tried to crash your website 😂.
Hope everything went ok.
Hahaha y'all are wonderful, wonderful people, @rosiesherry, @Leo! Thank you so much for all you've done for the Indiehackers community! 😊
I am sure thats our very own Rosie!! 🥰
Rosie for the win!! 🤩
Got a shoutout for MockRocket.io the other day too! Awesome surprise and so cool that you all are using that big Twitter audience to amplify Indie Hackers' projects.
Thank you @rosiesherry and @Leo !
fantastic Steve, nice work!!
@rosiesherry hey Rosie, sorry to hijack but what's the best way to get a tiny bit of support with my account - I'm being really dumb but can't figure who to ask?
Its nice to see how Indiehackers team support the growth startups listed here.
I know! Feels pretty surreal to get the support of the platform that is pretty much your online home! 😇
What a coincidance, first I saw your product from Product Hunt 2020 Golden Kitty Awards announcement, then IndieHacker tweet about it, and know I read your post here at IndieHacker. Wow!
And congrats on becoming "Side Projects of The Year". Your project really awesome.
Thanks a lot for the kind words, Ari! To be honest, I still can't believe the various crazy things that have happened to One Word Domains in the last few months, but I'm super grateful for all of them! 🤩
I want to thank you for One Word Domains, I just found the domain for my next project with it.
It catchy, it short and I didn't believe it available :D
Thank you for letting me know, Ari – this means a lot to me! So glad you were able to find the domain you liked! 🤩

Oh dang, that domain has been one of my favorite domains on the site for the longest time – glad to see that it now belongs to a talented indiehacker! Please let me know when you end up building the site out! 🤩

😆 love it
Hahaha thanks Brayden! 🙏
I know it's not as crazy as Hacker News' hug of death but I was actually pretty fearful for a minute there when the numbers started shooting up 😂
