I remember when we first launched Reflection.app. I dreamed of hitting 10,000 users. I saw other indiehackers posting their user numbers and it always felt so far away.

It definitely hasn't been quick, or even easy, but step by step we got there. Early on our growth was slow 20 new users a month, 100 new users a month, and slowly but steadily that number started to go up and in December we had nearly 2,000 signups in a single month.
Our goal for 2021 is to hit 50K by the end of the year.
A turning point for us was launching our native mobile apps.
Before launching our mobile native apps it was our most requested feature, and since launching them we have benefited from some discovery in the app store, and our engagement has jumped as well.
