3 years ago I did a Show HN [1] for http://asoftmurmur.com - it got 3 points, 0 comments

2.5 years ago I posted it again with some more features [2], got 190 points and 80 comments, and some positive feedback. Was encouraged to keep up development.

Since then:

* > 5 million sessions

* A native Android version written in Java with > 100k installs

* Native iOS version in the works

* I now work full time as a software developer

It's a small, simple application - almost a toy - and there are now lots of similar services, but it has genuinely changed my life.
