Congratulations! The Webflow co-founders personify the perfect combination of persistence, grit, and a bit of luck. I know nay-sayers will start parroting "survivorship bias," but these kinds of stories motivate me :)

Cheers, and thanks for the inspiring words!

You mean survivorship bias? Interesting to think how many web flows does that were so close. The difference was 1 mere hacker news post. Crazy to think how big of a factor luck plays

Yep, fixed :)

> Crazy to think how big of a factor luck plays

Indeed! Although I think it's best to focus on the things we can affect: persistence, hard work, grit.

Very true, life is a never ending chicken egg problem

Survivorship bias isn't a negative, it's just a fact.

People bringing it up aren't naysayers, they're just being realistic.
