Nice work. Have you considered creating a page/blog post the explains how you've used your own tool to find paying customers? Doing that would provide a ton of value I think:

1. You'll (hopefully) find new customers

2. By using your own tool regularly, you'll gain invaluable insight into UX issues and new feature ideas.

3. Potential customers on your site would get to read through a play by play story about somebody successfully using your tool to drive business results. Basically a meta case study.

I LOVE this thinking. I have a small write-up about "how I'm using PMAlerts to drive growth for PMAlerts" here:

https://www.karma.fm/p/BcMEfxQ/frequently-asked-questions

But it's not presented as a formalized case study and doesn't provide the value you're proposing (to me or others). I'll do it!

Congrats on your Show HN!

I absolutely liked your copy.

Is karma.fm one of your side projects too?

Thanks very much! And yes it is - I'm using PMAlerts to learn how to listen, and Karma is teaching me how to think and write (though it's a bit less mature)
Do you plan to post about karma.fm when it comes out of alpha?

I'd be interested in the Zettelkasten and second brain examples under "How can Karma help me?"

Yes, for sure. If you'd like to help me nail down the MVP for this, feel free to send an email (m@pmalerts.com). Would love to have some company over there.
Nice, you have the foundation there which is great.

I'd also recommend making the faq table of contents into clickable links.

On it, thank you lprubin.
