So it happened... I am on HN main page...
by mpodlasin...and I did not even submit my project myself!
This morning, after relative success on r/learnmath, I posted my website on r/math, probably the biggest subreddit on mathematics.
And it kind of blew up.
Somebody posted my website on hacker news and I have seen Real Not Complex being top nr 3 there for a brief second.
I am both extremely happy and extremely stressed. I kept checking my heroku server over and over again, scared that my app would crash lol.
I got amazing feedback on r/math, some people started following my Twitter.
I am also seeing some smaller traffic from other sources now. Facebook, Twitter, HN, IH, Reddit, some mail accounts lol.
It's a crazy day. Truly a crazy day.

Congrats, sounds exciting! Can I ask how many visitors did HN bring to your app?

Hi and congratulations!
Can I ask why you're using Heroku and not something like Webflow or Squarespace?
Cheers
Jonathan
PS Keep us posted on your success!-

Thank you!
It's a combination of:
- I know heroku and I don't know neither webflow or squarespace
- static list is just a MVP, I have multitude of ideas how to grow it, much of which involve writing custom backend and logic
