My little AI side project just got its 100th user!

I built a simple tool that uses a new text model to summarize long articles into three bullet points. I just checked the analytics and saw 102 active users this week, which blew my mind. I only shared it in a few Discord groups for writers. It's not perfect, but seeing people actually use it feels amazing. Has anyone else had a small project take off faster than you expected?

Wow, that's awesome! It reminds me of when I made a dumb little website that just showed local pizza deals. I told two friends, and suddenly my cheap server was crashing from traffic. Turns out a college subreddit found it and went wild. You never know what will hit a nerve, right?

Saw a story about a guy who made a site tracking public tennis court lights. He just wanted to know when to play, but it blew up in his whole city. Same vibe, you really can't predict it.
