It's been a little over eight months since I launched and it has been quite a journey. No exponential growth or huge user spikes but rather slow and steady growth. But in my opinion that is the best for building something actually valuable because you can react to user feedback along the way and constantly keep improving the app.
I've almost completely stopped marketing at about 3000 users because I don't have a lot of time currently and growth has slowed down quite a bit but it's ok for me as long as the platform isn't dying :)
Of course I will not stop here and I am already working on the next big update for the platform which will benefit all the community. More is coming soon.
I've built IndieAppCircle, a platform where small app developers can upload their apps and other people can give them feedback in exchange for credits. I grew it by posting about it here on Reddit. It didn't explode or something but I managed to get some slow but steady growth.
For those of you who never heard about IndieAppCircle, it works like this:
Since many people suggested it to me in the comments, I have also created a community for IndieAppCircle: r/IndieAppCircle (you can ask questions or just post relevant stuff there).
Currently, there are 3202 users, 2996 tests done and 765 apps uploaded!
You can check it out here (it's totally free): https://www.indieappcircle.com/
I'm glad for any feedback/suggestions/roasts in the comments.
