Well noted, thanks!
There's [Tell HN] for posts like these. This post got engagement /despite/ the wrong tag, try not letting the unnecessarily negative tone of the original comment get to you (I'm sorry). And thanks for the great share.
Hello HN, I see another post sharing their success micro startups today on HN so I thought I should share mine. I started working on this browser extension for Twitter 8 months ago. It took 3 months to reach $60/mo, 3 more to reach $400/mo, and 2 more to reach $3K/mo – where I am now. When I start, I had 0 followers on Twitter. When it reaches $400/mo, I quit my job.

Great job. Love the value provided, design and landing page too. Also its great you made a mobile app as well. I don't care what others tell you. All it takes is 1 more click to check out your whole product. You are providing value to those who use twitter heavily and don't get enough data from twitter to take meaningful action. Similarly I find Instagram to provide very basic analytics / data, do you want to collab…

I spent 3 hours/day everyday for a few months straight. I'll write about it in more details in my next newsletter issue :)
