I worked super hard on the MVP for two weeks and launched on this day! It was more of a "soft" launch, following the advice by Courtland and Y Combinator and others. I posted it on Twitter, got retweeted by my friends, posted on Reddit, Hacker News, and even here.
I set a limited amount of users as I wanted to "test the waters" so to speak. Wasn't completely sure how well it was going to do so I thought it'd be nice to at least get some small wins.
Well, I blew past that limit (100 sign-ups) in less than 24 hours! Those Reddit posts really pulled in quite a bit of people and I already had waitlist sign-ups the next day.
