Excellent post and breakdown, especially, of the process and tools - thanks for sharing.
Wondered about this:
"We had some really great luck where the bootstrap guys tweeted about Jetstrap and @mdo even mentioned us in a really great blog post about Bootstrap 2.1 and the future of the project."
What was the bump / attribution of users to that single post?
When a company I was involved in years back was a Featured App in the App store that led to literally something like 10% of the user base, and the incredible PR / long term results from that made the company (out of eventually 10m+ downloads).
Sounds like the "luck" part of you getting featured was showing up in the community, building a great product? Or did you reach out / push on that?
We've had a few bumps, and those initial posts certainly contributed to growth and SEO. However, the spark came from Twitter and drives a good amount of users to our site each day. It's obviously not the whole picture but it is meaningful enough to our growth I wanted to share how we utilize it.
Good post but I'm a jetstrap user and I found in on the frontpage of HN, so I think saying you got all of your users from Twitter is probably not accurate.
