SocialVault

Decentralized, encrypted storage for Facebook data

July 15, 2019 Placed 3rd in Hackathon

I originally built SocialVault to participate in Blockstack's Can't Be Evil hackathon. https://blockstack.devpost.com/. There were around 300 participants in total, but SocialVault made it to 3rd place for "Most Dappy" !

There's no big crazy prize or anything, but it's nice to have small wins like this when you're just getting started.

July 4, 2019 Made it to the HN Frontpage

To my great surprise, I saw that Socialvault was on the homepage of HackerNews . This was shocking because usually my HN launches go completely nowhere, and lost in the void. I actually even got shadowbanned from HN for 'spam' or something after I reposted a product that got no love the first time.

I never expected to make it into the homepage with this, and ended up getting around 1000 views from HN alone.

Congrats! I also made it to 1st page once and was flagged as spam. It's usually very difficult to make it and remain on the 1st page.

  Thanks! Yeah, HN is quite unpredictable sometimes, but this time it ended mostly well!

July 3, 2019 Launched On ProductHunt

Launched on ProductHunt, and got onto the homepage for about half of the day. Got a couple hundred users from this. Didn't do any crazy marketing or anything for the most part. I shared it on twitter, though I don't think much people saw that. The ProductHunt twitter account did tweet about it though. Perhaps ProductHunt just wasn't the perfect audience for something like this.
