Got my 2 first subscribers

Hitting 2 first subscribers after 30 minutes of launch made me a happy man.

I've been living with diabetes type 1 since 1996 and everyday is an awareness day that you are living with this chronic disease.

Many people around the world live with the same condition but it's sometimes hard to grasp how others feel or handle their lives.

Diabetic & Me is trying to share these stories online.

If you are diabetic or know anyone that has diabetes. Don't hesitate to share your own story!

    This is a great idea Ely :)

    How did you launch the site and get people to know about it?

    Also, on the mobile site the image on the landing page is zoomed in and the "Share your own story" text is enlarged. It ends up showing white text ("Sh" from "Share") against a white background (the window), so it's hard to read because there's no contrast.

      Thank you.

      The website now is only launched and Indie Hackers and Reddit. I made a post on Hacker News but I will try that again shortly. I am planning on trying to reach out to Diabetes groups and forums and reaching out to press.

      Can you share a screenshot of the issues or what phone you are using? I will try to replicate and solve the issue.

    2 in 30 mins is a great start. Am sure this is going to be really helpful for supporting people with diabetes.
