Oh hi! That's very strange indeed. Have you tried emailing Substack support? I'm not doing anything weird here.

Very important insight. Thanks for sharing it.

Loved that quote

100%

Good call, I’m going to dig into this further.

What a beautiful HN success story

That's amazing

Thanks jedberg <3

I've come across a few other startups that got started this way, but from this research it was interesting to see that wasn't big for any of the biggest consumer apps.

Since you've got a SaaS product, (hopefully) you'll be happy to hear I'm doing a follow-up looking at how the fastest growing SaaS companies got started.

That's how they (allegedly) got supply, not demand, which is what I focused on in the post

Posting fake homes on Craigslist is the common strategy to get demand.
