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!

    Congrats! How did you get the first few customers?

      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!
