I remember somewhere reading that the founders of Reddit did the same. Did you use adwords?

Ask HN: Advice on building a community from scratch?

Posted by giarcyevod on Wednesday April 13, 2016 @03:29PM
from the ask-hn dept.

I've recently launched a website/forum/community to help others use up their soon to be wasted food.The idea is to help people by providing them with ideas and recipes. These ideas are provided by a community.I believe it is a skill to look at ingredients and have a basic understanding of what to cook. That skill like any can be acquired by chipping away day-to-day.I'm wondering if anyone here...

I missed out the whole point of why I put the site together. Thank you for pointing that out. It's basically a place for you to share what food is left in your kitchen and get recipe ideas. More info - http://gidfid.com/#/about

Doing 'SEO' is like punching smoke. Build for those visiting and using your website.

I have first hand experience on how awesome the support team is and salute them for the great work they no doubt do every day.

I don't mean to offend in any way it was more of a general feeling I got when using the service and having known Zapier for a while now.

Since the dawn of business time humans have done business with other humans and even in the digital age I don't think that has changed.

To see a friendly face on the homepage that has worked hard to get the business to where it is. Who I know is working hard to look after my data and make sure it gets from A to B.

Again just a gut feeling I had when I saw the homepage. Apologies for the 180 of the questions you had been expecting! Keep up the awesome work dude :)

Zapier needs a face... Love the company and always thought that the human connection is what was missing.
