In 2020, I started reading books and listening to podcasts on finance and financial independence, but I couldn't find a good long-term planning app that felt modern, fluid, detailed, and actually fun to use... so then I spent all my free time for over a year building one 😅

How did you find your first customers?

Initially, I wasn't sure there would be any! The alpha version was just a tool for myself and friends/family. They got enough value out of it that I figured I should try creating a subscription offering; and as luck would have it, a Show HN post brought about 50k people to the site. Luckily, the infamous HN hug of death didn't bring it down, and that post is where many of ProjectionLab's early adopters came from. Over the past year and a half, they've been a consistent source of ideas and support, and have helped shaped the app into what it is today.
