In October, at the “Dream Hollywood” hotel in, Los Angeles, California, developer https://www.linkedin.com/in/nodunayo/ told the inspiring story of how she’d built her site and garnered over 1 million registered accounts — almost single-handedly — in just 29 months. And at the end of a long and exhilarating journey, Odunayo shared all the lessons she’d learned along the way.

The site’s “welcome” email promised to import data from a user’s Goodreads account into their StoryGraph account — but it couldn’t be done.

As the company’s only web developer — and its only app developer — Odunayo coded and coded for six full weeks, “mixing Ruby with Swift and Kotlin.”

Today The Storygraph has over 1.2 million registered accounts, serving out 36 million pageviews a month, Odunayo tells the audience.
