Viral on HackerNews comment (> 1k subs)

I had a flight back home, which I was kind of stressed about. I was about to miss it. Then, I noticed something weird. I started to get emails from new subscribers. So I went to check the subscriber count, lo and behold, I had 400 subscribers! (275 a day before) I was quite shocked, which didn't help me get to my flight in time (I did eventually after some running). It just kept growing. Then I saw the hackernews referrer in my analytics. To be honest, I wasn't supper happy about it, because I didn't plan it (my server needs an upgrade and I had more things I want to fix in my landing page). But, life doesn't ask you for approval on things :)

Anyway, today we've passed the 1k subscriber count 🥳
I'll do my best to keep the quality high and enjoyable.

P.S. the interesting thing was that the trigger for this was that people liked the landing page. I need to give this some extra thought.
