In December 2012, one of our early alpha users of Screenhero posted the product to HN. It catapulted us into the public beta phase, and got us our initial traction. Those users eventually helped us refine the product over a year and a half to get it to revenue, profitability and eventually, our acquisition by Slack.
Almost a year ago, I posted my new startup (https://screen.so https://screen.so) to HN, and got a similar group of amazing users that have been helping us slowly but surely improve the product. We’ve now got a number of household-name companies using us on a daily basis.
It’s also my favorite site to visit every day in the hope of learning something new. There’s nothing quite like it.
So yes, HN has changed my life multiple times. Kudos to the community and to dang and others who make this site as awesome as it is on a daily basis.
I have, admittedly, gotten zero wives directly through HN!
