Indie Kindle blog-delivery service hits 57 weekly active users in 6 months

An indie developer shared 6-month numbers for a service that auto-delivers blogs to users' Kindles: 57 weekly active users, with thank-you emails arriving from strangers almost weekly.
Growth has come almost entirely from organic posts in Reddit communities like r/kindle and r/jailbreakkindle — no paid acquisition. A useful small-but-real case study for solo subscription products.
