Tell HN: My open-source project hit 5k registered users

Congratulations, that's huge! I got my first open-source contributors this week and I was so excited about it.

Congrats — 5k users is no small thing, especially for an open-source project.

Honestly, even if the revenue isn’t there yet, this is still a huge win. Getting real users and distribution is the hard part.

In the long run, the personal brand and credibility you’re building here are probably more valuable than the early revenue anyway.

Well done! 5K on opensource is really awesome.

Are you collecting feedbacks on how people are utilising it? Gather stories and Evangelize it.

Congratulations! 5k users is a real milestone — especially for open source where you rarely hear from most of your users. The ones who take time to register are your most valuable early adopters. Would be curious what your biggest growth channel was — was it a single post that took off or slow organic growth over time?

Well done man, and learned a new word too. Praise God!

Congratulations! That is a huge milestone. I never came that far until now.

Very nice! I need some forms for my side project. Will check it out.

kudos. great idea, great execution
