Reached 2,400 people on the waitlist

I didn't really expect that good of a response but apparently, all I did was write a Medium blog post and it exploded on Designer News and then got republished on Noteworthy ( The journal ) on medium. I got about 6-7k views in a week on Medium and 3k of them actually read the blog of which about 1800+ people signed up.

I think what worked here was that the problem I am trying to address is something that most people care about in the UI/UX, Product Design community.

      The beta is already rolling out right now. Sent out beta invites to 125 users last week. Sending another 125 this week.
      I wanted to throttle the growth (also, considering I need to populate the platform with some work from designers before actually letting everybody access the platform) so I am not sending out invites all at once, since I am a one person team at the moment.
      The plan is to start rolling out at 250/week after a couple of weeks.

    Can you give the link to your medium article?
    Thanks!
