Great work on this site! Very helpful resource. I looked at the timeline, how did you launch to 1000 email subscribers and get 300k page views in the first month?
I started with 0 subscribers and pageviews, but was at the top of HN for something like 30 hours (Thu morning to Fri afternoon), then only a couple days later I hit #1 on Product Hunt. That weekend alone got me to something like 200k pageviews and 800 subscribers. After that, I just added as many interviews as I could every week, and started sending out weekly newsletters.
