After 1 month, my project got over 1000 signed-up users

This has never happened to me before...
After several years of indie hacking, the total number of signed-up users of Penelope AI finally exceeded 1000!

Crazy!!!

So crazy that it's a little scary lol
I'm going to keep updating my app so I don't disappoint the users who have signed up!

If you have any questions, please ask me!

      Thank you for asking lvca!

      So my strategy was...
      Joining a hackathon or some events and building your app for it!
      If you do that

      • You will be more responsible for finishing your app
      • The host of the event usually tweet or talk about participants’ app, so that people can see yours and maybe sign up on it.
        An example tweet by Supabase:

      In my case I joined a hackathon by Supabase and N&W by buildspace!
