I posted https://healthcareisdumb.com/ to Show HN on a whim and it took off.
I knew I was in trouble when I got 3 upvotes as soon as I posted it and 25 in the first minute.
The post peaked briefly at #3 where it was getting 300 active visitors at a time.
It was interesting watching the correlation between placement on the page and traffic.
Roughly:
#3 - 300 visitors
#14 - 100 visitors
#24 - 60 visitors
Also had a reporter reach out to me for an interview on Monday, so hopefully I can leverage this boost well.
Results:
100+ new emails
10k+ visitors
Next week I'll focus on getting to know these new users and their problems so that I can build a better v2.
