I posted an Ask HN to review my side project PCPartPicker about six years ago. Got great feedback and things grew from there. I went full-time, had to hire employees, etc. Not big like Dropbox, but we made it over the hump self-funded and without taking investment.

PCPartPicker is the a very unique product with a great community and I've benefited quite a lot from it in the past and hope to continue doing so. Thanks a lot for making this.
That's by far the most useful site I could find to compare, choose and find where to buy "bang for the buck" PC parts. Many thanks for the site.
Wow. Use it from time to time. Great site and very useful. I had no idea that it came from here. I think I first saw it linked via reddit. Thanks!!
Thanks for building this fantastic site, I use it all the time! What's your business model?
Glad you like it! We make money through affiliate deals with the retailers we list.
