Love this site! Did you use a front end framework/template to design it? It’s so slick.
(Obviously not OP) it's vue.js with bootstrap.

#22Funny thing is I have known about some of these companies since about a few years. I distinctly remember seeing Ghost's revenue (around $40K) and thinking, "umm.. that doesn't seem much to go around five people."; watching Hubstaff numbers (which was ~$80K/month, I believe), and saying to myself, "that's a very niche software. Would it ever go to make revenue that justifies expenses of a team?" (I think the CEO mentioned that he had taken zero salary since starting the company)
I am amazed how far they have come. So, a lesson learned well: If you're starting a company, you're fighting a long, hard battle against pessimists like me.

Yup, monthly revenue. Of course these aren't in real time but are the most recent data I could find online.
That’s great to know! Surprised that IndieHackers rolls in less dough.
We actually roll in 0 dough as of 2017!

Yeah was on the edge thinking whether to include it or not, but pre-acquisition Courtland posted some really useful stuff about how he grew it. Felt it was a shame not to include, especially since it's very helpful.

#27Looks interesting!
I see Buffer in the list with 100+ Companies with Remote Open Positions and I guess that important to see real information about a company that you'd like to be hired. When you see Key Metrics of a company, you know how you can grow there and help it to be better.
PS Just for info. I found it here. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Sr0vy3eDn2fcEhxOdkPv...

In SaaS, the road can be especially long... Bootstrapped SaaS north of $1M a month is damn impressive.

#30Just a heads up - there is an issue with the carrd.co link.
Otherwise, site looks great. Looking forward to seeing more!
