This time around, it was unfortunately for the better - I think? Wish we were better prepared for the explosion!
Our previous 3-day all-nighter sprint resulted in Ryeboard rising all the way to #3 on HackerNews and lingering in the top 10 for around 8 hours or so with 179 upvotes.
Stats are as follows:
- Total visitors: 12.3K users in 24 hours
- Total users: 440 users
- Conversion rate: 3.5%
While HackerNews does usually have low conversion rates, part of the very low conversion rate is attributed to some page breaking bugs and landing page mishaps in the early phase of the explosion!

Just wanted to say that this is a beautiful app. Has a lot of the feel of figma but for thoughts instead of designs. Very cool. Are there elements to easily connect different cards for instant mind-mapping / flow? I see from the video you can draw them manually. Anyway, congrats on making something awesome.

So far just a few polish things - server speed / loading is a bit slow before I get into a project. It would be great (although I get why it's difficult) to not have a top and left bound. You start working on an idea and realize you need to build out and above it. Right now the solution is select all, but shapes/drawing aren't included in that, so it can get messy. The other one would be simple size adjustment for the checklists font.
