Thought it would be interesting to stop back and show what we've done.

Impressive. Being open about the journey and giving ideas and hope to others is very commendable.

Also $100,000 a month from a company that couldn't scale like a software company is really cool. I think more Hacker news people should worry a bit less about 'scaling' and getting a good product going first and foremost.

Thanks man, really appreciate it. It's been a fun ride! You're absolutely right. I think, "will it scale" is often a fairly silly question when you think about it. Not every company has to become a billion dollar company to be successful. And while scaling geographically is great, one can create a model that goes deep instead of going wide, and for a local business this could mean totally dominating a city with multiple verticals. Either way, "will it scale" shouldn't be the question. "Will it sell?" is more important, especially for a boot-strapped company.
