Anyone else see these types of announcement posts, and it's like they already have thousands of users? Where do y'all learn about these projects so early?

So a few reasons come to mind. Firstly, these projects usually do more than one HN posts. And by the time they have thousands of users, they have already done quite a few HN posts by then. Additionally, if you follow a particular scene (JS in this case) then you can hear about these projects quite a lot on tech Twitter. Adonis was being actively discussed a few days ago after Theo posted a video about why there is no Rails alternative in JS-land. I personally remember hearing about Adonis when I searched for a Rails alternative in JS a long time ago.

And lastly, this project specifically has been in the making for a good number of years now. So it makes sense that there are quite a few people out there using it.
