Show HN: I built an active community of trans people online
A year ago I surveyed the internet and noticed there was only one popular space for trans and gender-non-conforming people to meet; Lex.<p>Lex is not well liked by its users. Its software feels heavy and it is full of cash grabs and anti-patterns. It was recently acquired and is sure to only become more hostile to its users as it turns towards profit generation.<p>With this in mind I built t4t, an alternative specially designed for not only queer people, but specifically trans people.<p>It is an extremely lightweight service. I built it with my most ideal stack: Flutter, Svelte, Supabase, Posthog.<p>It has grown in the last year to about 4,000 monthly active users. I think it could grow way beyond that this year.

Thank HN: My bootstrapped startup got acquired today
Hello HN,<p>I'm Paras Chopra, founder of VWO. We're an A/B testing platform that was born here as a Show HN in 2009: <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=876141">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=876141</a><p>Today, I sold the company to a private equity firm for $200mn.<p>It's covered on TechCrunch: <a href="https://techcrunch.com/2025/01/23/everstone-acquires-bootstrapped-indian-startup-wingify-for-200m/" rel="nofollow">https://techcrunch.com/2025/01/23/everstone-acquires-bootstr...</a><p>I was a 22 year old fresh graduate when I launched VWO on HN and got initial users. Feedback from people like @patio11 helped me get to PMF. And now, 15 years later, "site:ycombinator.com" is what I appended when I wanted to search for advice on what to keep in mind while selling my company.<p>Thank you HN for sharing inspiration and wisdom all along. I honestly don't think I would have been an entrepreneur had it not been for hacker news.<p>Every single day, HN is the first website I open! I'm feeling very grateful towards the community. Thanks @dang, and thank you Paul Graham for your essays and for creating this beautiful corner of the internet!
