Does anyone have a theory on what enabled Instagram to get to 27m users with only 13 employees in 2012, and why that still seems very difficult today despite all the SASS products helping startups?

Some game companies also used to release a new game monthly in the 90s, without code completion, Copilot, Git, Github!

Things were not so noisy. Simpler days.

IG was the first easy way to share the hundreds of photos we all had on our new shiny camera phones.  

Now every new App or service is "X for this, and X for that". There was no X for sharing photos from your mobile elegantly, easily, and publicly back then.

Very true, I just wanted a better app for sharing photos. Today I’m bombarded with news, photos & videos on all social media apps to get users hooked.

Seeing many attempts at the everything app but aside 2-3 global networks, there’s a special place for niche apps/forums.

Perfect /farcaster pitch!
