I'm not sure why this is on the front page. I mean, $1 that you just made yesterday doesn't really indicate product/market fit, nor seem very noteworthy in general. If anything, it seems more like a midway point in the journey of what you might expect to get there. You might have to pivot several times after realizing traction is not stable or perhaps not scalable vis a vis marketing efforts, as has been my experience. Kudos to building something though.
Edit:
I get the point others are making about celebrating a milestone and your first sale being the stepping stone to the next, but I don't think it addresses mine:
Is $1 that you made just yesterday really enough data to demonstrate to others what to expect? Is there really any conclusion that can be drawn from such a small experiment? Maybe it's just me, but I feel like there would be much more interesting insights to discuss after waiting more time or when more sales occurred.
Honestly this looks more like an SEO piece given the keyword rich external links in the article from a high PR domain and boost from HN. The author has mostly just submitted his own articles on HN to boot.
