Pretty nice, 1 dev 3 team members in total and 1 million users? Are there any other products with such a small team and a huge userbase?

Does this scale and when the business requires more coding and technical debt comes how do they manage it?

Well, your username certainly checks out. I am not sure how many solo projects you have embarked on, but providing a product to 2 million people is no small feat even for a team. Iterating to product market fit takes a lot and not many people are ever able to do it.

Whether it is simple or not it's obviously providing value for the users that are using it, and is reliable enough because it keeps growing.

Only tangentially relevant to the story I guess, but StoryGraph is kind of a brilliant idea.
