#13If you have a gap it can go in your employment section. If not put it in a project section.
It can become a hiring story or an example in your cover letter.

#14Put it on the resume. I'd hire you.

#15Add it, but don't mention you have 1200 users. Essentially put yourself in the hiring managers shoes and say 'what's in it for him/his company/the role being done well'.
Oh man, I had the exact opposite reaction to 1200 users. If that's retained MAU - that's a lot!
I generally assume someone has 0 users unless they express otherwise.

If you list 1200 users and I was interviewing you, I'd want to know it was 1200 users actually getting value from the product, and how you communicate that using metrics etc.
