So after initially launching on Hacker News, and subsequently building out a paid subscription service, I decided to launch again on Product Hunt (for the first time).
To my surprise, the post reached #3 top product of the day! I got a lot of good feedback, and received ~1.5k visitors to the site, with ~150 app downloads, and 10 new subscribers.
I got a lot of users that signed up without completing checkout, so I'm not sure if they bailed at the checkout step, or just didn't know that sign up is not required to use the app. Probably a mixture of both.
At this point I'm thinking of what my next steps will be for promotion.
After launching on hacker news 3 months ago, I earned my first subscriber.
I initially launched on hacker news to validate the idea, and after getting overwhelmingly positive feedback, I set to work building out a subscription model. That involved setting up a lot of infrastructure, and completely rewriting the data layer for the app.
About two weeks ago I opened the subscription service up as a closed beta to active users, and received 15 sign ups.
Yesterday I closed the beta and opened up signups to everyone, and got my first subscriber!

Congratulations! I really like the app for its clear and simple functionality. As a developer, I appreciate this kind of tool. Let's hope you get many many more :)

Congrats Matthew! I've been using Anki for a couple of months now and I can tell you, there's definitely room for disruption here.
By the way, I noticed Anki is huge for medical students. The best tutorials that I found are made by med students. Just an FYI in case you want to try and help out that niche as well.
I think a mobile app is something that you might want to consider soon. I find myself studying when standing in line or where I have to wait mindlessly.
Best of luck!

The only framework I'm using for the UI is re-frame. I've found that using a UI framework like bootstrap etc, usually slows me down a bit, and I like the flexibility of being able to create my own components.
