A hobby project that quickly gained popularity, attracting over 10,000 users within a week and generating buzz within the NBA community. The project was a simple web application that allowed users to share memories or tweets they had published from years ago. Each shared memory included a signup link to the website, contributing to its viral spread.
Based on my analytics, it was on a promising trajectory of 10 million users or more. However, I lacked the budget necessary to support the server and hosting requirements.
Milestones

Note
Due to the recent changes in the X (Twitter) API, I had to take down the website.
