While I will say congratulations, I hope you also appreciate how lucky you are. I cringe at some of the decisions that were made and how close you may have came to absolute ruin not just for yourself but your family as well. I hope the lesson people take from this isn’t “Never give up” but rather that startups are harder than you think and posting on forums is more of a crap shoot than a guarantee of any useful traction. Calculate that risk carefully to yourself and dependents and see if it’s really worth it.

Imagine if you were trying to launch right around the beginning of 2020. The HN of the 2020s is becoming a much less forgiving crowd than that of 2013.
