Ask HN: How does HN help a new project?

[NarcisMirandes]

Tell me about a project where HN had a big part in their success. For me, success is when a group of people pay for a product or service over a stable period. This group could be a small, specialized group.

I'm curious... Would you be willing to post why you're interested in this?

I just want to learn. I am finishing a small project. I want to learn from others.
