Hi, I built this site to show how companies (mostly in tech) got their first users / how they got viral. Hopefully, people will get some new inspirations on how to get new users based on what have been done in the past :).

This is some great information - however clicking Back after reading some info scrolls the homepage back to the top. The categorization into separate categories is probably not too useful at this point - it might make more sense to just have a single page with all the companies and their strategies listed.

Anyway, great idea for a site - maybe you could add a post to Twitter or Facebook button to help spread it around.

Thanks! I will try to trim down the unnecessary categorization. I have also added a share button as you have mentioned (only on Twitter to start with) :). I will definitely add more share buttons.

I like the clean uncluttered design of the site. You could find some founders to interview a la https://www.indiehackers.com/ to get more detailed information on the early stages of a startup.

It would be nice if the site worked without javascript as well.

Thank you! And thanks for the link to indiehackers. I could find some company informations there that I could not find before (e.g. Sidekiq and Shogun). I will definitely add more content very soon.

Will try to find workaround regarding the javascript too.
