#82Hard to take her seriously when she is an sjw who discriminates against men and hires women. Read her post again. She says hiring women led to less bullshit. I call this bullshit. My prediction is that company will fold within a year due to catfighting. Hard to take every dumbo seriously these days.
This is an ad-hominem attack that is completely off-topic. If you don’t have anything relevant to contribute, please leave.

#83"Get featured by apple/google" Honestly, its like giving financial advice and saying "Ok, win the lottery or marry someone rich"
It’s not a lottery. I’ve done it several times over many years with different products and companies. The advice I laid out is basically how I did that.
Of course you can’t control if you are featured or not just like you can’t control if you get a writeup in a big publication. Doesn’t mean you shouldn’t give yourself the best chance of getting it.

#84Earlier quoted context omitted.
The OP wasn't talking about users, but rather best practices on how to get the App Store makers to feature you. I've heard the App Store editorial team specifically give the "go native" advice. It's definitely not required, it just helps. Our app got featured in one of the App Store's daily stories despite it being written in React Native.
I kind of doubt that whoever does the feature pics looks at the binaries to figure out if it is native or not. As long as the end result is not easily distinguishable from native, I'm sure you are just as likely to be featured.
Yea if you play around you can really make an app look like native. Even in desktop it's difficult to figure out web apps wrapped under electron when they are done right..

#85This evening we got our 171st user for our wishlist-service. When we launched it 1 year ago we tried to get it out on different channels like Reddit and HN without much success, while we _did_ see success in just talking about it to friends and family, and had just over 100 users in January this year. Since then, we've done close to zero marketing, and it's been amazing to see new signups, wishlists and items being c…
My god put google analytics on that site.. how do you even run a site without any analytics?
Re: How to get your first 100k active users
#86BTW, I'm the OP and am happy to answer questions here. My expertise is obviously in consumer internet products but I spend a lot of time thinking about growth. It's my superpower!
Canadian here, great to hear about your success, I'm on google play store and couldn't download, guess its US-only at this point?
I was able to download on my iPad. Great app with a decent number of users posting in Toronto!

Re: How to get your first 100k active users
#90Just another dumb app that tricks users. HN should be ashamed of itself for voting this as a top story. I want my 5 min. back.
Curious how the app "tricks users"?
