We just passed $200k MRR for @Ghost and growing faster than at any other point since we started. The 'one weird trick' was showing up every day for 7+ years, even when the graph was totally flat :) Currently searching for 5 new team members! careers.ghost.org

Chart anomaly, we switched to Stripe at that point which is when data kicks in. There was another year of history before that point with a more normal slope. That said, we did have fairly quick early growth off the back of a Kickstarter campaign

What happened in those 2 years? My guess is that you shipped the membership features 😊
