Thanks to the HN exposure, we had four different teams register for the product. And we made it to the first page for one of our SEO keywords.
Following the advice from https://stripe.com/atlas/guides/saas-pricing we require a credit card at the start of the trail, but we might remove that for a bit just to learn more about our customers.
Very unexpected, but I wrote a technical article on some of the architectural decisions behind the product, and it made it to the front page.

Technically it didn't even make it to the front page when I submitted it. It got zero upvotes that night, but HN has a bot or something that re-submits articles from time to time, and my article was resubmitted by the bot, and then I was pleasantly surprised to open HN and see my article.
We launched! It was the first time my partner and I have worked together on a product and it went surprisingly well. She's very good at frontend work, and I enjoy backend work, so it was very easy to divide up the work and get a MVP up and running.
